THROUGH the abysses of the sky Surge upon surge the years sweep by, Yet still our spheral voices chime, For we are over-lords of Time. We view all secrets face to face, -- The deep solemnities of space, The rayless voids of outer sea, The courts of God's eternity. It is our bliss to be above All passions save eternal Love, And this our choral lips rehearse Throughout the listening universe. So shall the centuries wax and wane Till Song and Love alone remain, And all shall join our deathless chime, Like us the over-lords of Time. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SEASHORE (1) by RALPH WALDO EMERSON EPISTLE TO MISS TERESA BLOUNT, ON HER LEAVING THE TOWN by ALEXANDER POPE THE FIRST PROCLAMATION OF MILES STANDISH [NOVEMBER 23, 1620] by MARGARET JUNKIN PRESTON FIELD AMBULANCE IN RETREAT; VIA DOLOROSA, VIA SACRA by MAY SINCLAIR LEE TO THE REAR [MAY 12, 1864] by JOHN REUBEN THOMPSON I DID NOT ASK OF LIFE by ALICE BAKER |
