HE WHO HATH LOVED, by WALTER MALONE Last Line: And winged through ever-blooming fields of heaven. | |||
HE who hath loved hath borne a vassal's chain, And worn the royal purple of a king; Hath shrunk beneath the icy Winter's sting, Then revelled in the golden Summer's reign; He hath within the dust and ashes lain, Then soared o'er mountains on an eagle's wing; A hut hath slept in, worn with wandering, And hath been lord of castle-towers in Spain. He who hath loved hath starved in beggar's cell, Then in Aladdin's jewelled chariot driven; He hath with passion roamed a demon fell, And had an angel's raiment to him given; His restless soul hath burned with flames of hell, And winged through ever-blooming fields of heaven. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OPPORTUNITY RENEWED by WALTER MALONE POE'S COTTAGE AT FORDHAM by WALTER MALONE AT NIGHT; SONNET by AMY LOWELL IF DEATH IS KIND by SARA TEASDALE FIRST OF MAY by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THE COLLAR-BONE OF A HARE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE DEAD LEAF by ANTOINE VINCENT ARNAULT EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 25.
