EXULTATION, by DORA HAGEMEYER First Line: Today I could move mountains with my joy! Last Line: Has split my mind and poured it full of heaven! | |||
Today I could move mountains with my joy! Could drink the golden liquid of the sun Or stride the sky, or wilder means employ To shout aloud my gladness as I run. I am stretched out to endless space and time -- There is no distance where I cannot be. The stars behind the starry fields sublime, Are but the marrow and the flesh of me. There is no measure made for me today! A universe has opened in my soul. I feel me not a part of worlds at play But strangely and convincingly the whole. Who knows but some bright shaft from God's hand given, Has split my mind and poured it full of heaven! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FUGITIVE by DORA HAGEMEYER GALAHAD IN THE CASTLE OF THE MAIDENS by SARA TEASDALE SUMMER DAYS by WATHEN MARK WILKS CALL A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES CURIOSITY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR AN ELEGIE, OR FRIENDS PASSION, FOR HIS ASTROPHILL by MATTHEW ROYDEN BUDDHA AND BRAHMA by HENRY BROOKS ADAMS LOVE'S CALENDAR by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH AN EPITAPH ON A DUTCH CAPTAIN by PHILIP AYRES THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 104.
