I AM as a spirit who has dwelt Within his heart of hearts, and I have felt His feelings, and have thought his thoughts, and known The inmost converse of his soul, the tone Unheard but in the silence of his blood, When all the pulses in their multitude Image the trembling calm of summer seas. I have unlocked the golden melodies Of his deep soul, as with a master-key, And loosened them and bathed myself therein -- Even as an eagle in a thunder-mist Clothing his wings with lightning. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RELIGION AND DOCTRINE by JOHN MILTON HAY THE MAID'S LAMENT; ELIZABETHAN by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR THE MUSIC O' THE DEAD by WILLIAM BARNES CHILDREN OF LIGHT by BERNARD BARTON AMERICA A PROPHECY by WILLIAM BLAKE |
