LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES IN HEAVEN, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Treasure plies a feather Last Line: And are heavenly things. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Pleasure; Treasures; Heaven | |||
TREASURE plies a feather, Pleasure spreadeth wings, Taking flight together, -- Ah my cherished things! Fly away, poor pleasure, That art so brief a thing: Fly away, poor treasure, That hast so swift a wing. Pleasure, to be pleasure, Must come without a wing: Treasure, to be treasure, Must be a stable thing. Treasure without feather, Pleasure without wings, Elsewhere dwell together And are heavenly things. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE END OF LIFE by PHILIP JAMES BAILEY SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 6 by CONRAD AIKEN THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#19): 2.
