HYMN TO POSEIDON, by ARION First Line: Mighty god poseidon, thee I sing Last Line: Into the darkling main. Subject(s): Poseidon (mythology) | |||
MIGHTY God Poseidon, thee I sing, Girder of the Earth, of Ocean king, Golden trident brandishing. Round thee sport in joyous rout Lightly leaping, gleaming, glancing, Tossing in their finny dancing Bristly mane and flattened snout, Dolphins, whom the Muse enthrals -- Playmates 'neath the briny waters Chasing Amphitrite's daughters In the Nereids' halls. These bore me to the coast of Pelops' isle On their curved backs uplifted, Cleaving the furrows of a pathless plain, On a perilous voyage I drifted, Cast by treacherous seamen's guile Into the darkling main. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WANDERER by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY POSEIDON'S BRIDE by ELIOT KAYS STONE THE DAY AND THE WORK by EDWIN MARKHAM A LETTER ON THE USE OF MACHINE GUNS AT WEDDINGS by KENNETH PATCHEN THE BELL by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
