SONG ON THE WATER (2), by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: As mad sexton's bell, tolling Last Line: Moonily. Subject(s): Sailing & Sailors; Love; Seamen; Sails | ||||||||
As mad sexton's bell, tolling For earth's loveliest daughter Night's dumbness breaks rolling Ghostlily: So our boat breaks the water Witchingly. As her look the dream troubles Of her tearful-eyed lover. So our sails in the bubbles Ghostlily Are mirrored and hover Moonily. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SAILS OF MURMUR by ANSELM HOLLO THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE TOM BOWLING ['S EPITAPH] by CHARLES DIBDIN HOW'S MY BOY? by SYDNEY THOMPSON DOBELL LOVE AT SEA by THEOPHILE GAUTIER BALLAD OF HUMAN LIFE by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES DEATH'S JEST-BOOK: DIRGE FOR WOLFRAM by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES DEATH'S JEST-BOOK: SAILORS' [OR MARINERS'] SONG by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES |
