Merops
Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803 to 1882
What care I, so they stand the same,-
Things of the heavenly mind,-
How long the power to give them name
Tarries yet behind?
Thus far to-day your favors reach,
O fair, appeasing presences!
Ye taught my lips a single speech,
And a thousand silences.
Space grants beyond his fated road
No inch to the god of day;
And copious language still bestowed
One word, no more, to say.
Ralph Waldo Emerson's Merops
I am busy working to bring Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Merops" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Ralph Waldo Emerson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Merops" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
