House Of Clouds, The

House Of Clouds, The

Evenings light of amber,
In light instead of sound.
Softemng in degree,---
With the showers of summer,
At the curfew-sounding,--- ;
For my thoughts to live in;
Bring a shadow green and still
Where the lark is singing;
To which I looked with thee.
Let them! Wipe such visionings
But still, unchanged shall be,---
Sidelong star to watch it,---
Ranged, for sculptures, round the room,---
And too low for Heaven!
Here in my soul,---that moonlit cloud,
Bring the red cloud from the sun
Some be birds of paradise,---

Hush! I talk my dream aloud---
From a sunset solemn!
Those too, perfumed for a proof,
Use the blue place of the sky,
Than the seen, around him.
When the sunbeams come here;
Bring a purple from the hill,
Faced with amber column,---
I would build a cloudy House
In the mutest of the house,
Bring them calm and white in;
I build it bright to see,---
While he sinketh, catch it.
Crowned with crimson cupola
Naiads, without sources
From the noontide zenith
Turning t九_九_藏_書o a sound like rain,
Dowered with his immortal.
Veined by the lightning.
To which I looked with THEE!
From the lilies edges:
To which I looked with thee!
Waters stringed for such,---
Cloud-walls of the mornings grey,
Turning sadness into good,
Bring the fantasque cloudlets home
From the chestnut forest,
For the door within;
That shall be a couch,---with one
Pale and glimmering;
Whereupon the foot shall fall
Build a spacious hall thereby:
Build the entrance high and proud,
When the heat is sorest;
Cloudy whttps://read•99csw•comalls divide and fly,
Wandering harpers, harping on
Solemnising every mood,
Bring the dews the birds shake off,
Silence at the door shall use
With a vibrant touch.
Which the wind is clearing;
Waking in the hedges,---
Cupola and column proud,
Following their own prayers.
The sun may darken,---heaven be bowed---
Poets thought,----not poets sigh!
Darkening and then brightening,---
From the Fancys cartel---
Boldly, never fearing.
Spread them out from wall to wall,
House Of Clouds, The
Carpet九_九_藏_書-wove around,---
Whence to form a mirror pure,
Fit for poets finest Thought,
Unrhymed and unwritten.
Such as children wish to climb,
Love secures some fairer things
I build it on the moonlit cloud,
When for earth too fancy-loose
Named as Fancy weeneth:
Something of the song at least,
Las, they come together!
That shall be a morning chair,
Be my chamber tapestried
Bring a grey cloud from the east,
May mists, for the casements, fetch,
If a riven thunder-cloud,
For Loves self-delighting.
Poet-dream may sit in,
With a suhttps://read•99csw.comnbeam hid in each,
As I enter in.
Things unseen being nearer brought
From our Englands field and moor,
Branched with corridors sublime,
Use one with an iris-stain,
I will have my chamber:
When it leans out on the air,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Flecked with winding stairs---
Some be Junos, without eyes;
As in April weather!
And a smell of spring.
Gone---except that moonlit cloud,
Close, but soundless,---glorified
Some, Olympian horses.
Unlost in the bringing:
As I turn the key.
Drawing colours, for a tune,
