Silent Noon - By Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Read by James Kingdon
Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass,— The finger-points look through like rosy blooms: Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms 'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass. All round our nest, far as the eye can pass, Are golden kingcup fields with silver edge Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn-hedge. 'Tis visible silence, still as the hour-glass. Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky:— So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above. Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower, This close-companioned inarticulate hour When twofold silence was the song of love. #feelgood #poetry #inspire #beautifulscenery ====================================== Subscribe for poetry vids from Many Voices… ====================================== Hi, I’m James Kingdon. I’m a voiceover artist & actor based in London. I’ve set up this channel because I wanted to share my passion for poetry, beautiful scenery and creating voices with you. Every poem is specially chosen to uplift, to add light and connection to your day. My partner Joanna and I love to wander the UK countryside filming footage we find beautiful, and Joanna then edits it all together, often with music and sound effects from FreeSound.
