BEHOLD the world's great wonder The Sovereign Star arise! 'Midst Ocean's sweet low thunder, Earth's silence and the skies'. The sea's rough slope ascending He steps in all his beams, Each wave beneath him bending His throne of glory seems. Of red clouds round and o'er him His canopy is roll'd, The broad ooze burns before him, A field of cloth of gold. Now strike his proud pavilion! He mounts the blue sublime, And showers in many a million His wealth from clime to clime. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR THE ANNIVERSARY OF JOHN KEATS' DEATH by SARA TEASDALE THE GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS [MAY 9, 1775] by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT PUTTING IN THE SEED by ROBERT FROST SWEET MEETING OF DESIRES by COVENTRY KERSEY DIGHTON PATMORE THE ARGONAUTS (ARGONATUICA): MEDEA'S DREAM by APOLLONIUS RHODIUS CHORUS OF A SONG THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY ALBERT CHEVALIER by HENRY MAXIMILIAN BEERBOHM THE IDEAL by ANNE CHARLOTTE LYNCH BOTTA |
