Algernon Charles Swinburne - Philip Massinger: VAlgernon Charles Swinburne - Philip Massinger: V
Work rating: Low


CLOUDS here and there arisen an hour past noon     Chequered our English heaven with lengthening bars     And shadow and sound of wheel-winged thunder-cars Assembling strength to put forth tempest soon, When the clear still warm concord of thy tune     Rose under skies unscared by reddening Mars     Yet, like a sound of silver speech of stars, With full mild flame as of the mellowing moon. Grave and great-hearted Massinger, thy face High melancholy lights with loftier grace     Than gilds the brows of revel: sad and wise, The spirit of thought that moved thy deeper song, Sorrow serene in soft calm scorn of wrong,     Speaks patience yet from thy majestic eyes.
