WHIRLED on their starry Odyssey From heaven to earth, in this deep glade The eternal lovers hold their court Within the heart of man and maid. That darkness throbs with hidden fire: The pulse beats fast: the heavens call: Earth is transfigured, and the twain Breathe as they did before the Fall. When King and Queen feast in the heart They squander all the gold of years To make their banquet gay, then leave A ruined heart, a house of tears. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A FRIEND WRITING ON CABARET DANCERS by EZRA POUND THE RAIN by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES HIS RETURN TO LONDON by ROBERT HERRICK SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 93 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI RENEWAL by GLADYS NAOMI ARNOLD IN APRIL by MARGARET LEE ASHLEY |
