MUSIC UNHEARD, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Sweet sounds, begone Last Line: And reflections be.' Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter | |||
Sweet sounds, begone -- Whose music on my ear Stirs foolish discontent Of lingering here; When, if I crossed The crystal verge of death, Him I should see Who these sounds murmureth. Sweet sounds, begone -- Ask not my heart to break Its bond of bravery for Sweet quiet's sake; Lure not my feet To leave the path they must Tread on, unfaltering, Till I sleep in dust. Sweet sounds, begone! Though silence brings apace Deadly disquiet Of this homeless place; And all I love In beauty cries to me, 'We but vain shadows And reflections be.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ARABIA by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BUNCHES OF GRAPES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ECHO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ENGLAND (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FARE WELL by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FIVE EYES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
