THE WET WOODS, by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE Poet's Biography First Line: This path leads to the laurel Last Line: I will be alone with sorrow. Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness | ||||||||
This path lads to the laurel, And that, winds to the burn: Hemlocks, pines, and birches, Know the one that I turn. It is wet in the woods to-day, And perhaps, the sun to-morrow, Shall weave its gold, while away I will be alone with sorrow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN ABEYANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV IN A VACANT HOUSE by PHILIP LEVINE SUNDAY ALONE IN A FIFTH FLOOR APARTMENT, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS SILENCE LIKE COOL SAND by PAT MORA THE HONEY BEAR by EILEEN MYLES SCINTILLA by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE |
