ghizela rowe - matthew arnold - the austerity of poetry lyrics

Loading...

that son of italy who tried to blow
ere dante came, the trump of sacred song
in his light youth amid a festal throng
sate with his bride to see a public show

fair was the bride, and on her front did glow
youth like a star; and what to youth belong++
gay raiment, sparkling gauds, elation strong
a prop gave way! crash fell a platform! lo

‘mid struggling sufferers, hurt to death, she lay!
shuddering, they drew her garments off++and found
a robe of sackcloth next the smooth, white skin

such, poets, is your bride, the muse! young, gay
radiant, adorn’d outside; a hidden ground
of thought and of austerity within
