Summer Sonnets
And Other Verses (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Summer Sonnets: And Other Verses<br><br>The Poet's Harp<br><br>Oh for the poet's harp of golden strings,<br>Whose music is the echo of God's thought<br>With earth's familiar voices interwrought!<br>A far-off melody divine, that brings<br>A fragment of the song the seraph sings<br>Before God's throne. The mystic chord long sought,<br>Dropping through space, is by the poet caught;<br>Then like a bird whose once undrooping wings<br>Have wearied in earth's heavy atmosphere,<br>It nestles to the poet's heart, and sings<br>Sweet cadences that none but he can hear,<br>And as he listens all his being thrills<br>With rapture greater than his soul can bear,<br>And so he sings it to the woods and hills.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
