Mona

In balmy summer evenings came
the wind that whispered just her name
Then Mona would appear to me
From realms that lie beyond the sea.

From kingdoms far beyond the sky
Where old men sing and virgins sigh,
Beyond the mourning of the wind
Where life rejoices, songs begin

From there she came on summer days
with wondrous tales from far away
Of limpid skies and virgin earth
Of nature pregnant giving birth.

of

Golden realms with emerald shores
where angels sing for evermore
Of worlds enwrapped in heaven's light
Emanating in the night


Where shadow creatures don't exist
And beauty sets the hearts in bliss.
Where treasures gather from afar
A thousand worlds, ten billion stars


Of these she spoke to me always
as she reposed in ocean spray
revealing secrets, distant shores
I will remember evermore.

But I remember it only vaguely.
Most of the poems I can't remember since it as been years since I have read poetry.
I consider Tennyson a great poet.
The poems that I found particularly unforgettable of Tennyson's are "Marrianna in the open Grange," and "Crossi

Both Crossing the Bar and Mariana in the Moated Grange (this is the title by which I know the poem) are poems I like very much, too. I like most of Tennyson's poems, but The Lady of Shalott is my favourite. It's a sad love story; the lady falls in love with Sir Lancelot and... well, she dies at the end of the poem. Yet, it is very very sweet in my opinion. Have you heard of Loreena McKennitt? She

I read these poets a long time ago. I reckon I haven't read poetry for a long time. Do you knowthat it has just occurred to me that I'd love to hear one of these poems with your voice?

Hi Miriam:

Yes, that is the part of the title [moated grange] that was eluding me.
So I chose to take a stab at it instead of making sure.
I figured that it would be recognized anyway by the first part.
My bad!

No, Miriam, I am not familiar with Loreena McKennitt.
Is her singing available on the web?
I know that some sites provide au

Hi Maj!

I would be glad to oblige if I knew how.
I also would need to replace my computer microphone.
Once that is done then I can at least try.
I will let you know when the mike is replaced.
Then you can tell me which poem you would like me to read.

Kind Regards

Hello again, Radrook. Emotion: smile
