Mauresque
Ford Madox Hueffer
1873 to 1939
To horse! to horse! the veil of night sinks softly down.
The hills are violet, the desert brown,
And thou asleep upon the silken pillows
Within the small white town.
Weride! Weride! and o'er the sand in billows
The crescent moon looks softly down.
Ford Madox Hueffer's Mauresque
I am busy working to bring Ford Madox Hueffer's "Mauresque" 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 Ford Madox Hueffer's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Mauresque" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
