the sonnet - dante gabriel rossetti - richard mitchley lyrics
Loading...
a sonnet is a moment’s monument,**
memorial from the soul’s eternity
to one dead deathless hour
whether for l*stral rite or dire portent
of its own arduous fullness reverent:
carve it in ivory or in ebony
as day or night may rule; and let time see
its flowering crest impearled and orient
a sonnet is a coin: its face reveals
the soul**its converse, to what power ’tis due:
whether for tribute to the august appeals
of life, or dower in love’s high retinue
it serve; or, ‘mid the dark wharf’s cavernous breath
in charon’s palm it pay the toll to death
