To Dora Dorian
Read 'To Dora Dorian' by 'Algernon Charles Swinburne' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
Child of two strong nations, heir
Born of high-souled hope that smiled,
Seeing for each brought forth a fair
Child,
By thy gracious brows, and wild
Golden-clouded heaven of hair,
By thine eyes elate and mild,
Hope would fain take heart to swear
Men should yet be reconciled,
Seeing the sign she bids thee bear,
Child.
