Classic and Contemporary Poetry
TO EFFIE WALLER, by PETER CLAY First Line: Far up among the mountains Last Line: "to charm us with the poet's mystic art." Subject(s): Smith, Effie Waller (1879-1960) | |||
"Far up among the mountains, Where rivers leave their fountains, And happy birds send forth their merry thrills; There dwells a little poet, Though few there be who know it, Whose voice is an echo from the hills. "You may not like her station, For she is not Caucasian, Yet God with music touched the singer's heart; And thoughts in liquid measure Doth flow out like a treasure, To charm us with the poet's mystic art." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PARADOX by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE VALLEY OF UNREST (2) by EDGAR ALLAN POE ENGLAND AND AMERICA IN 1782 by ALFRED TENNYSON SPORTSMEN IN PARADISE by T.
