  • This is one of my favorite poems as well... A beautiful sad story, and written in a rhythm that's almost a song. Thus, it is little wonder that Lorenna McKennitt was able to transform these already haunting words into a magical song. Still, I much prefer chanting the words to myself; I love the way they sound. Tennyson certainly knew his stuff. I like this one even more than my other favorite of his, "Ulysses"

  • Dear Lord, this is beautiful... The images, the wind, those amazing opening and closing lines... Pure magic.

    Thanks for recommending this poem; I hadn't heard it before and enjoyed it immensely. On a first read-through it seems so simple, but it almost demands a few re-reads. I find myself wanting to know what happened after this poem, hoping that 'he' comes.
