Poem by Aubrey De Vere Lismore A MEETING of bright streams and valleys green; Of heathy precipice; umbrageous glade; Dark, dimpling eddies, ’neath bird-haunted shade; White torrents gushing splintered rocks between; With winding woodland roads; and, dimly seen Through the deep dell ere hazy sunset fade, Castle and spire and bridge, in gold arrayed; While o’er the deepening mist of the ravine The perspective of mountain looms afar. Such was our Raleigh’s home, and here his eye Drank deep of nature’s wild variety, Feeding on hopes and dreams! From the world’s war Retired, he dwelt; nor deemed how soon his star Should set, dishonored, in a bloody sea! Aubrey De Vere Aubrey De Vere's other poems: 1178 Views |
