Amy Lowell (Эми Лоуэлл)


Hero-Worship


A face seen passing in a crowded street,
A voice heard singing music, large and free;
And from that moment life is changed, and we
Become of more heroic temper, meet
To freely ask and give, a man complete
Radiant because of faith, we dare to be
What Nature meant us.  Brave idolatry
Which can conceive a hero!  No deceit,
No knowledge taught by unrelenting years,
Can quench this fierce, untamable desire.
We know that what we long for once achieved
Will cease to satisfy.  Be still our fears;
If what we worship fail us, still the fire
Burns on, and it is much to have believed.



Amy Lowell's other poems:
  1. The Pike
  2. The Painter on Silk
  3. Miscast I
  4. Fragment (What is poetry? Is it a mosaic)
  5. Fringed Gentians
