Now you are gone you seem a visitor, Something that haunted for a little time The splendor of the evening, or astir With bees in blooms of lime; Or, at the hour when mothers tell old tales To children, something passing through the gleams Of cottage windows; or, on western gales Riding, a king of dreams; Or, about hawthorns lingering to greet The earliest may among the blazing green, Or, through the heather traveling to meet Spirits we have not seen; A lovely radiance of a passing star Upon a sudden journey through the gloaming, Lighting, low Irish dills, and then afar To its own regions homing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONG FROM AN EVIL WOOD: 2 by EDWARD JOHN MORETON DRAX PLUNKETT SONG FROM AN EVIL WOOD: 3 by EDWARD JOHN MORETON DRAX PLUNKETT CAMPUS SONNET: RETURN - 1917 by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET MAKING THE BED by KAREN SWENSON THERE IS NO NATURAL RELIGION (A) by WILLIAM BLAKE JOHN BURNS OF GETTYSBURG by FRANCIS BRET HARTE BALLADE OF BLUE CHINA by ANDREW LANG ON THE EPHEMERALNESS OF BEAUTY by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS |
