Poems by Richard Monckton Milnes
Marathon
... Thus grave, thus streaked with thunderlight, of yore, ...
To ---, Five Years Old
... That comely form, wherein thy thoughts are pent, ...
The Return Of Ulysses
... Rest, care--worn mortal! rest, and let his sleep be thine ...
A Lament
... From their home in your breast have been forced, one by one,-- ...
The Fireworks From The Castle Of St. Angelo
... Looks through your gambols with a grandsire's face, ...
Shadows
... They seem'd, to those who saw them meet, ...
Greek Religion
... On to the fate of the fallen, and mourned for the love that dethroned her! ...
The Papal Benediction, From St. Peters
... -- The swaying breadth each gazer's breast enchanted ...
The Tomb Of Laius
... Those paths, that mound, those browsing herds, ...
An Italian To Italy
... Bid the gay laughers thro' those arches pour, ...
Tempe
... And float into the Past with softly swelling sail ...
Delphi
... I, for one, Cannot thus read the history of my kind ...
Only We
... When false friends pass coldly by, ...
Christs Descent Into Purgatory, By Giorgione, At Venice
... Joyless and tearless, till this Christ should come ...
Grecian Sunset
... And now his aim attained, his triumph known, ...
