(TO THE LADY OF THE CASTLE) 'HE who fears the trial, Naught can hope to gain': -- Shall I make denial A la Chatelaine? Come then, MUSE, and lend me All that poets feign: Let my verse commend me A la Chatelaine! TIME, that rarely lingers, -- TIME, that churl ingrain, -- Kisses courtier fingers A la Chatelaine; Leads her by soft places Free from stone and stain; Spares his sterner traces A la Chatelaine! Ah! benign, caressing, Still, O TIME, remain; Send thy chiefest blessing A la Chatelaine! Make her sorest troubles Light as summer rain; Crosses be but bubbles A la Chatelaine! Neither mar nor mend her; Save her toil and pain; TIME, be always tender A la Chatelaine! | 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 |
