Poet Analysis

First Line: BEAUTIFUL ART! MY WORSHIP IS FOR THEE
Last Line: WHAT HIS HIGH COMMUNING HAD BEEN.
Subject(s): PAINTINGS & PAINTERS;

Beautiful art! my worship is for thee, -
The heart's entire devotion. When I look
Upon thy radiant wonders, every pulse
Is thrilled as in the presence of divinity!
Pictures, bright pictures, oh! they are to me
A world for mind to revel in. I love
To give a history to every face, to think -
As I thought with the painter, - as I knew
What his high communing had been.
