DORMANT HOUR, by BYRON CHEW First Line: For a little while I am content to let time rule me Last Line: Defies my strength. | |||
For a little while I am content to let time rule me. The crying of summer has ceased and the days in slow procession, go like tired monks up the steps to the monastery. Rest is good, and the quiet hours refresh me; but even now the barren fields cry out and mock my useless meditations while the waiting harrow defies my strength. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANOTHER SPRING by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE DAISY; WRITTEN AT EDINBURGH by ALFRED TENNYSON WATER WOMAN by JOSEPH AUSLANDER A CHARACTER by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ON A PORTRAIT by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD NATALIA'S RESURRECTION: 26 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT CLYTEMNESTRA by EDWARD ROBERT BULWER-LYTTON |
