HARP OF WIND AND DREAM-LIKE STRAIN, by EMILY JANE BRONTE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Alternate Author Name(s): Bell, Ellis Subject(s): Harps; Lyres | |||
HARP of wild and dream-like strain, When I touch thy strings, Why dost thou repeat again Long-forgotten things? Harp, in other earlier days I could sing to thee, And not one of all my lays Vexed my memory. But now if I awake a note That gave me joy before, Sounds of sorrow from thee float, Changing evermore. Yet still steeped in memory's dyes They come sailing on, Darkening all my summer skies, Shutting out my sun | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GHOSTS LISTEN TO ORPHEUS SING by GREGORY ORR TO AN AEOLIAN HARP by SARA TEASDALE THE AEOLIAN HARP by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE MASTER-PLAYER by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE HARP by RALPH WALDO EMERSON THE AEOLIAN HARP; AT THE SURF INN by HERMAN MELVILLE THAT HARP YOU PLAY SO WELL by MARIANNE MOORE RUMORS FROM AN AEOLIAN HARP by HENRY DAVID THOREAU AEOLIAN HARP (1) by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM |
