IN ORKNAY, by WILLIAM FOWLER Poem Explanation First Line: Upon the utmost corners of the warld Last Line: I change bot seas, bot cannot change my love. Subject(s): Orkney Islands (scotland) | |||
UPON the utmost corners of the warld, And on the borders of this massive round, Where fate and fortune hither has me harled I do deplore my griefs upon this ground; And seeing roaring seas from rocks rebound By ebbs and streams of contrar routing tydes, And Phoebus' chariot in their waves lie drown'd Wha equally now night and day divides, I call to mind the storms my thoghts abydes, Which ever wax and never dois decrease, For nights of dole day's joys ay ever hides, And in their vayle doith all my weill suppress: So this I see, wherever I remove, I change bot seas, bot cannot change my love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RENOIR IN ORKNEY by JOHN STEWART CONN CLIFF HOUSE, ORKNEY ISLES by GILLIAN FERGUSON TRAVELER, ORKNEY ISLES, SCOTLAND by ANNE PITKIN THE BLACK RIDERS: 9 by STEPHEN CRANE IN AFTER DAYS; RONDEAU by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON H.
