SONG (1), by ALFRED TENNYSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: It is the solemn even-time Last Line: Echoes sad thro' the cloister'd arches. Alternate Author Name(s): Tennyson, Lord Alfred; Tennyson, 1st Baron; Tennyson Of Aldworth And Farringford, Baron | |||
IT is the solemn even-time, And the holy organ's pealing: And the vesper chime, oh! the vesper chime! O'er the clear blue wave is stealing. It is the solemn mingled swell Of the monks in chorus singing: And the vesper bell, oh! the vesper bell! To the gale is its soft note flinging. 'T is the sound of the voices sweeping along, Like the wind thro' a grove of larches: And the vesper song, oh! the vesper song! Echoes sad thro' the cloister'd arches. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A DEDICATION by ALFRED TENNYSON A DREAM OF FAIR WOMEN by ALFRED TENNYSON BREAK, BREAK, BREAK by ALFRED TENNYSON CROSSING THE BAR by ALFRED TENNYSON EDWIN MORRIS; OR, THE LAKE by ALFRED TENNYSON ENGLAND AND AMERICA IN 1782 by ALFRED TENNYSON ENOCH ARDEN by ALFRED TENNYSON |
