Poetic Hamlet

In the Bloom critical anthology, I came across several poems dedicated to Hamlet.  They were written by Walter de la Mare, who has penned numerous poems about Shakespearean characters.  The Bloom volume contained the three poems relevant to Hamlet:  "Hamlet," "Polonius," and "Ophelia."  I included the text of the tribute to the title character below, courtesy of an Internet site (referenced after).  It is an interesting portrait of Denmark's Prince.

Umbrageous cedars murmuring symphonies
Stooped in late twilight o'er dark Denmark's Prince:
He sat, his eyes companioned with dream--
Lustrous large eyes that held the world in view
As some entranced child's a puppet show.
Darkness gave birth to the all-trembling stars,
And a far roar of long-drawn cataracts,
Flooding immeasurable night with sound.
He sat so still, his very thoughts took wing,
And, lightest Ariels, the stillness haunted
With midge-like measures; but, at last, even they
Sank 'neath the influences of his night.
The sweet dust shed faint perfume in the gloom;
Through all wild space the stars' bright arrows fell
On the lone Prince--the troubled son of man--
On Time's dark waters in unearthly trouble:
Then, as the roar increased, and one fair tower
Of cloud took sky and stars with majesty,
He rose, his face a parchment of old age,
Sorrow hath scribbled o'er, and o'er, and o'er.
