THE SECRET, by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The starbeam lights, a touch, a breath Last Line: Storms with young force the general land. Alternate Author Name(s): Blunden, Edmund | ||||||||
THE starbeam lights, a touch, a breath, On a rover in midnight mood, In rapture with his houseless heath, Warm furze-perfume, stern mountain-wreath Of pines, and a water-music beneath, And shades that lived before Stonehenge stood. That far-spent patient messenger still Woos him with sigh-soft hand, Appeals through endlessness until Response awakes with as deep a thrill As when dawn's gale of splendour shrill Storms with young force the general land. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOREFATHERS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN REPORT ON EXPERIENCE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN SOLUTIONS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE GIANT PUFFBALL by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE MIDNIGHT SKATERS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN VLAMERTINGHE: PASSING THE CHATEAU, JULY 1917 by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN 11TH R.S.R. by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN 1916 SEEN FROM 1921 by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN A 'FIRST IMPRESSION': TOKYO by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN A BRIDGE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
