Poetry quotes

[edit]
  • From The Wreck of Deutchland
 For how to the heart's cheering 
      The down-dugged ground-hugged grey 
   Hovers off, the jay-blue heavens appearing 
      Of pied and peeled May! 
 Blue-beating and hoary-glow height; or night, still higher, 
 With belled fire and the moth-soft Milky way, 
      What by your measure is the heaven of desire,
 The treasure never eyesight got, nor was ever guessed what for the hearing?
