Poems Dramatic Lyrical
Excerpt from Poems Dramatic Lyrical
Before this beauty wrought by human hands, By spirit more than human dreamed and wrought, I feel as one whom happy winds have brought Safely to rest among enchanted lands I feel myself go deeper than all thought, Enfolded by the painter-poet's dream Until the moan of multitudes oppressed, The roaring cities and the mad unrest Wherein to-day we travail, do but seem Shadows, and this that now mine eyes behold 50 living, so intense, that while I gaze I seem to watch unfold Some long-forgotten life I lived of old In beauty-worshipping Athenian days.
