A SONG OF ARNO, by GRACE ELLERY CHANNING-STETSON First Line: It is the hour when arno turns Last Line: To be so near to heaven. | |||
IT is the hour when Arno turns Her gold to chrysoprase; When each low-hanging star outburns Its faint, mysterious rays, As from the prison of faery urns Which faery hands upraise. It is the hour when life's constraint A moment's ease is given; When Earth is like a holy saint, Stilled, sanctified, and shriven, And the deep-breathing heart grows faint To be so near to Heaven. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENGLAND by GRACE ELLERY CHANNING-STETSON FLOWER BEDS IN THE TUILERIES by GRACE ELLERY CHANNING-STETSON JUDGMENT by GRACE ELLERY CHANNING-STETSON QUI VIVE? by GRACE ELLERY CHANNING-STETSON WAR by GRACE ELLERY CHANNING-STETSON STREET-CRIES: 7.
