Of unknown modes of being which on earth, Or in the heavens, or in the heavens and earth Exist by mighty combinations, bound Together by a link, and with a soul Which makes all one. To gaze On that green hill and on those scattered trees And feel a pleasant consciousness of life In the impression of that loveliness Until the sweet sensation called the mind Into itself, by image from without Unvisited, and all her reflex powers Wrapped in a still dream of forgetfulness. I lived without knowledge that I lived Then by those beauteous forms brought back again To lose myself again as if my life Did ebb and flow with a strange mystery. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEMORABILIA by ROBERT BROWNING EL HOMBRE by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS BALLADE OF MYSELF AND MONSIEUR RABELAIS by LEONARD BACON (1887-1954) HARVEST by GERTRUDE RYDER BENNETT AN OCEAN GREYHOUND by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
