The Danube to the Severn gave The darken'd heart that beat no more; They laid him by the pleasant shore, And in the hearing of the wave. There twice a day the Severn fills; The salt sea-water passes by, And hushes half the babbling Wye, And makes a silence in the hills. The Wye is hush'd nor moved along, And hush'd my deepest grief of all, When fill'd with tears that cannot fall, I brim with sorrow drowning song. The tide flows down, the wave again Is vocal in its wooded walls; My deeper anguish also falls, And I can speak a little then. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE NETHERLANDS by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE A MEDITATION FOR HIS MISTRESS by ROBERT HERRICK CEREMONIES FOR CANDLEMASSE EVE by ROBERT HERRICK THE CENCI; A TRAGEDY: ACTS 4-5 by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY WHOLE DUTY OF CHILDREN by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON PORTRAIT SONNETS: 4 by HENRY BELLAMANN EPI-STRAUSS-IUM by ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH |
