IN WOODS AND MEADOWS, by JAMES STEPHENS Poet's Biography First Line: Play to the tender stops, though cheerily! Last Line: "under the sky!" | |||
Play to the tender stops, though cheerily! Gently my soul, my song! Let no one hear! Sing to thyself alone! Thine ecstasy Rising in silence to the inward ear That is attuned to silence! Do not tell A friend, a bird, a star, lest they should say -- He danced in woods and meadows all the day, Waving his arms; and cried, as evening fell, "Oh, do not come! And cried, "O, come, thou queen! And walk with me unwatched upon the green Under the sky!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CENTAURS by JAMES STEPHENS THE FIFTEEN ACRES by JAMES STEPHENS THE GOAT PATHS by JAMES STEPHENS |
