July 5, 2023Beauty-
BEAUTY still walketh on the earth and air,
Our present sunsets are as rich in gold
As ere the Iliad’s music was out-roll’d;
The roses of the Spring are ever fair,
’Mong branches green still ring-doves coo and pair,
And the deep sea still foams its music old.
So, if we are at all divinely soul’d,
This beauty will unloose our bonds of care.
’T is pleasant, when blue skies are o’er us bending
Within old starry-gated Poesy,
To meet a soul set to no worldly tune,
Like thine, sweet Friend! Oh, dearer this to me
Than are the dewy trees, the sun, the moon,
Or noble music with a golden ending.
Alexander Smith
Alexander Smith (1830-1867) was a Scottish poet and essayist who was part of the literary movement known as the Spasmodic School. His best-known work is "A Life Drama," a dramatic poem that reflects his interest in psychology and human emotions.
