Yes! now indeed we meet 'neath loftier stars. The high airs soothe us, and the silence deep Seems part of that eternal watch we keep: Now, nought our reunited passion mars. Like marvellous and fragrant summer sleep A sense of life steals over us, and brings New wondrous visions cradled on its wings: We stand, victorious, on a nobler steep! Before us spreads the wonderful wide view, With ocean in the distance, dim and blue,— And love, with white and soft plumes, everywhere: We breathe, with ecstasy beyond all speech, In this diviner mutual height we reach, The unknown immortal soul-caressing air. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROAST LEVIATHAN by LOUIS UNTERMEYER CHANSON INNOCENTE: 2 by EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS GOOD-BY AND KEEP COLD by ROBERT FROST THE CONTRETEMPS by THOMAS HARDY A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 9 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN MONNA INNOMINATA, A SONNET OF SONNETS: 4 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
