THE DAY-DREAM: EPILOGUE, by ALFRED TENNYSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: So, lady flora, take my lay, / and, if you find a meaning there Last Line: And either sacred unto you. Alternate Author Name(s): Tennyson, Lord Alfred; Tennyson, 1st Baron; Tennyson Of Aldworth And Farringford, Baron | |||
So, Lady Flora, take my lay, And if you find a meaning there, O, whisper to your glass, and say, "What wonder if he thinks me fair?" What wonder I was all unwise, To shape the song for your delight Like the long-tail'd birds of Paradise That float thro' heaven, and cannot light? Or old-world trains, upheld at court By Cupid-boys of blooming hue - But take it - earnest wed with sport, And either sacred unto you. | 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 |
