Who art not missed by any that entreat.

As a child, Whose song-bird seeks the wood for evermore Is sung to in its stead by mother's mouth Till, sinking on her breast, love-reconciled, He sleeps the faster that he wept before. a very fine poem. tony

He sleeps the fatest that he wept before. Marvelous conceptualization and so is the whole poem. Thanks for sharing it here.

Total surrender of soul to the god seems to be the theme the poem carries and it is marvelously expressed.

Lovely poem indeed. Please correct mo to me (line 5) . I have also seen this poem punctuated differently- do we have an editio princeps?

Lifeless cold and mindless speaks, robotic voice where no heart beats. Words mechanically uttered, void spirit of thought, born of human heart when wrought. Better a breathing woman gives sweet voice, to heartfelt strains of mindful choice.

A great poem, amongst others, loved by poets through the ages. I enjoyed reading this poem. It made me think of these words, by St. Augustine, Our hearts do not rest unless it rest in Thee.

I love Elizabeth Browning and quite happily review her works but now anytime I try to review others works or check anything I'm forced to poem of the day. As calmly as possible (annoying!)

Its interesting how she maneuvers from her position relating to the desire to hear her savior, from then moving to that of the child, reading Terrance George Craddocks detailed synopsis Browning was definitely looking for peace in a difficult time.
