Edward George Bulwer-Lytton Poems

I.
Like a Star in the seas above,
Like a Dream to the waves of sleep-
Up-up-THE INCARNATE LOVE-
...

Away with your stories of Hades,
Which the Flamen has forged to affright us-
We laugh at your three Maiden Ladies,
...

Around-about-for ever near thee,
God-OUR GOD-shall mark and hear thee!
On his car of storm He sweeps!
Bow, ye heavens, and shrink, ye deeps!
...

In the veins of the calix foams and glows
The blood of the mantling vine,
But oh! in the bowl of Youth there glows
...

Loved alike by Air and Water
Aye must be Thessalia's daughter;
To us, Olympian hearts, are given
...

I.
It is not that our earlier Heaven
Escapes its April showers,
Or that to childhood's heart is given
...

I.
Farewell! O soul departed!
Farewell! O sacred urn!
Bereaved and broken-hearted,
...

I.
Who will assume the bays
That the hero wore?
Wreaths on the Tomb of Days
...

In the veins of the calix foams and glows
The blood of the mantling vine,
But oh! in the bowl of Youth there glows
...

Sweet are the rosy memories of the lips
That first kiss'd ours, albeit they kiss no more:
Sweet is the sight of sunset-sailing ships,
...
