Ancient Mysteries of Nature
Ancient Mysteries of Nature - meaning Summary
Alienated from Earth's Mysteries
The poem presents a speaker who feels estranged from Earth’s ancient, sacred landscapes and from any earthly fate. Instead of belonging to nature, the speaker describes a solitary, appointed journey away from sunset toward dawn — a cosmic wandering into blind heaven. Though detached and leaving nothing behind, the speaker imagines an enduring, luminous presence: their eyes will continue to shine in the starry ether like twin moons, a quiet immortality.
Read Complete AnalysesAncient mysteries of nature Sleep in secret, sacred fields. Mother Earth! I'm but a stranger To your endless vales and hills. Vast of forests, breadth of waters, Wings are strong below the sun. But your ages and your wonders Blur in planets' endless run. Not by you, I was anointed, Not to you, my fate was sworn. Now my journey is appointed From the sunset towards dawn. It's my destiny to wander Silent void of heaven blind. As I rise to endless yonder, I have nothing left behind. Yet for you, in starry ether, Where auroras dream in peace, My blue eyes will shine forever Like two moons in the abyss.
