ELIM, by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Palm-trees and wells they found of yore Last Line: Palm-trees and wells! Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin | |||
(Exodus XV. 27) PALM-TREES and wells they found of yore, Who -- that Egyptian bondage o'er -- Had sight betimes of feathering green, Of lengthened shadows, and between, The cool, deep-garnered water-store. Dear, -- dear is Rest by sea and shore: But dearest to the travel-sore, Whose camping-place not yet has been Palm-trees and wells! For such we plead. Shall we ignore The long Procession of the Poor, Still faring through the night-wind keen, With faltering steps, to the Unseen? -- Nay: let us seek for these once more Palm-trees and wells! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A GAGE D'AMOUR by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON A GARDEN SONG by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON ARS VICTRIX (IMITATED FROM THEOPHILE GAUTIER) by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON BEFORE SEDAN by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON DORA VERSUS ROSE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON GROWING GRAY by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW; IN MEMORIAM by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON IN AFTER DAYS; RONDEAU by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON THE BALLAD OF PROSE AND RHYME by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON WHEN THERE IS PEACE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON |
