HILL AND VALLEY, by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Come, let us climb to the height Last Line: Shadow and quiet are best.' Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin | |||
HE. 'COME, let us climb to the height, Peak after peak in the sun, As the rays brighten, grow rosy and lighten, Now that the thunder has done.' SHE. 'Nay; through the leafage, the light Gentlier glimmers below; See through the valley the rivulets sally, Singing aloud as they go.' HE. 'Grandly, ah! grandly the hill Broke the black storm on its crest; All the cliff under went leaping the thunder, Growling away in the west.' SHE. 'Here it is restful and still; Only the drops from the trees, Where the shades darkle, fall slowly and sparkle, -- Here there is solace and ease.' HE. 'Child, but the eagle above, Now that the mists are withdrawn, Never wing-weary, sails up from his eyrie, E'en to the eye of the dawn.' SHE. 'Ah, but below us the dove, Crooning for joy on the nest, Fills with soft slumber the leaves without number, Shadow and quiet are best.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A GAGE D'AMOUR by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON A GARDEN SONG by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON ARS VICTRIX (IMITATED FROM THEOPHILE GAUTIER) by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON BEFORE SEDAN by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON DORA VERSUS ROSE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON GROWING GRAY by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW; IN MEMORIAM by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON IN AFTER DAYS; RONDEAU by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON THE BALLAD OF PROSE AND RHYME by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON WHEN THERE IS PEACE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON |
