TOMORROW, by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: See where the falling day Last Line: And all deceive. Alternate Author Name(s): Aikin, Anna Letitia Subject(s): Lies; Women | ||||||||
See, where the falling day In silence steals away, Behind the western hills withdrawn; Her fires are quench'd, her beauty fled, With blushes all her face o'erspread, As conscious she had ill fulfill'd The promise of the dawn! Another morning soon shall rise, Another day salute our eyes As smiling, and as fair as she, And make as many promises; But do not thou The tale believe, They're sisters all, And all deceive. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER A WOMAN'S DELUSION by SUSAN HOWE JULIA TUTWILER STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN by ANDREW HUDGINS THE WOMEN ON CYTHAERON by ROBINSON JEFFERS LADIES FOR DINNER, SAIPAN by KENNETH KOCH GOODBYE TO TOLERANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD |
