Flush Or Faunus Poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Flush Or Faunus
You see this dog. It was but yesterday
I mused, forgetful of his presence here,
Till thought on thought drew downward tear on tear;
When from the pillow, where wet-cheeked I lay,
A head as hairy as Faunus, thrust its way
Right sudden against my face,—two golden-clear
Large eyes astonished mine,—a drooping ear
Did flap me on either cheek, to dry the spray!
I started first, as some Arcadian
Amazed by goatly god in twilight grove:
But as my bearded vision closelier ran
My tears off, I knew Flush, and rose above
Surprise and sadness; thanking the true Pan,
Who, by low creatures, leads to heights of love.
a girls best friend poem with lots of sloppy kisses? ..........wonderfully written.
I loved your comment. It made me smile and then drop some tears for mine, no longer here
There is nothing like a loving ode to a big, loving dog. Cats can have the internet, dogs just have to get in their owners' faces and mop up the tears and provoke a smile. Irresistible and appropriately irreverent.
An interesting piece nicely embellished with poetic rhyme and rhyme. A beautiful creation....
This beautiful poem for the transfiguration of the soul belonging to a dear animal emphasizes the purity and the love feeling existent in the absence of consciousness and necessary for the complex process of human asceticism
But as my bearded vision closelier ran My tears off, I knew Flush, and rose above Surprise and sadness; thanking the true Pan, Who, by low creatures, leads to heights of love. very good poem. tony
