THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES, by LUIS DE LEON Poet's Biography First Line: Unto the highest spheres Last Line: In most sweet concord mingle and conspire. Alternate Author Name(s): Fray Luis | |||
Unto the highest sphere the soul may mount through all the nether skies in a new mode to hear music that never dies, source and first fountain of all harmonies. There she may understand how to the Master's touch the strings rebound who doth with dextrous hand prolong the sacred sound by which the eternal dome is held and bound. And as the numbers rhyme that span the spaces of that cosmic lyre responsive comes a chime, and choir and rival choir in most sweet concord mingle and conspire. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO EMILIE BIGELOW HAPGOOD - PHILANTHROPIST by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE DINNER-PARTY by AMY LOWELL REINFORCEMENTS by MARIANNE MOORE DINING-ROOM TEA by RUPERT BROOKE SORROW by AUBREY THOMAS DE VERE CARRION COMFORT by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS BREAK, BREAK, BREAK by ALFRED TENNYSON |
