From those eternal regions bright, Where suns, that never set in night, Diffuse the golden day: Where Spring, unfading, pours around, O'er all the dew-impearl'd ground, Her thousand colours gay: O whether on the fountain's flowery side, Whence living waters glide, Or in the fragrant grove, Whose shade embosoms peace and love, New pleasures all our hours employ, And ravish every sense with every joy! Great heirs of empire! yet unborn, Who shall this island late adorn; A monarch's drooping thought to cheer, Appear! appear! appear! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PORTRAIT OF A BABY by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET HOME (2) by EDGAR ALBERT GUEST EXODUS FOR OREGON by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER SONNETS FROM SERIES RELATING TO EDGAR ALLEN POE: 1 by SARAH HELEN POWER WHITMAN THUS FAR by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN VALUES by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
