Peace at Noon
Arthur Symons
1865 to 1945
Here there is peace, cool peace,
Upon these heights, beneath these trees;
Almost the peace of sleep or death,
To wearying brain, to labouring breath.
Here there is rest at last,
A sweet forgetting of the past;
There is no future here, nor aught
Save this soft healing pause of thought.
Arthur Symons's Peace at Noon
I am busy working to bring Arthur Symons's "Peace at Noon" 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 home page for other musical arrangements or learn more about Arthur Symons's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Peace at Noon" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
