Oh stormy night with darkened veil! No stars aglow, no moon on watch, All dark, no Venus or Great Bears. Above, huge mystic distance lies, Below, the irate winds contend, So maddened in their hasty flight! So like are they to my lone soul Abroad the wondrous plains of space, Where flowers droop and babies cry, Where man and woman bravely march To win their day of love's pure bliss. This soul of mine in time doth speed With eyes serene that soar so high They view this earth a little place. Oh stormy night with darkened veil, Soon will thy veil be shorn, and then Eternal light the soul will share. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CITY TREES by EDNA ST.
