Why wait you here above the clouds, The earth has need of you; Spread out your wings, speed quickly on And pierce the vapor through Who said these lines and to whom?
Answers
Answer:
The poem is written in the “Spenserian Stanza”.
Explanation:
From the above question,
The poem is written in the “Spenserian Stanza”, the verse form of Edmund Spenser’s Elizabethan epic, The Faerie Queene.
Poem:
Not in those climes where I have late been straying,
Though Beauty long hath there been matchless deemed,
Not in those visions to the heart displaying
Forms which it sighs but to have only dreamed,
Hath aught like thee in truth or fancy seemed:
Nor, having seen thee, shall I vainly seek
To paint those charms which varied as they beamed—
To such as see thee not my words were weak;
To those who gaze on thee, what language could they speak?
Ah! mayst thou ever be what now thou art,
Nor unbeseem the promise of thy spring,
As fair in form, as warm yet pure in heart,
Love’s image upon earth without his wing,
And guileless beyond Hope’s imagining!
And surely she who now so fondly rears
Thy youth, in thee, thus hourly brightening,
Beholds the rainbow of her future years,
Before whose heavenly hues all sorrow disappears.
Spenserian Stanzas are perhaps the most self-consciously literary form to use, consisting of eight iambic pentameter lines followed by one alexandrine (which is a 12-syllable iambic line). Byron dedicated the work to “Ianthe”, which was his nickname for Lady Charlotte Harley, the young daughter of the Earl of Oxford.
