TO GEORGE CRABBE, by ARTHUR W. UPSON Poet's Biography First Line: Dusk falls, and through the deepening silence where Last Line: Tales of the inarticulate, and the dead. Subject(s): Crabbe, George (1754-1832) | |||
DUSK falls, and through the deepening silence where Red afterglows yon ashen roof do paint Whose dormer children's tapers gild so fair, Far vesper chimes disperse their music faint. Beneath an ancient arch the river turns Full of his inexpressive melody: With tenderest longing my whole being yearns To set his old, imprisoned story free! Unto this gloaming world, thou, Spirit sweet, With me art come; thou art of village things A low-voiced, love-enfolding paraclete Who soothest all their sleepy murmurings, And lurest from river, chime, and thatchen stead Tales of the inarticulate, and the dead. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENGLISH BARDS AND SCOTCH REVIEWERS by GEORGE GORDON BYRON SIR EUSTACE GREY (SEE CRABBE) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE POACHER (IN IMITATION OF CRABBE) by WALTER SCOTT REJECTED ADDRESSES: THE THEATRE, BY THE REV.
