TWILIGHT AND DREAMS, by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE Poet's Biography First Line: At the outer edge of the world Last Line: And overflow my soul. Subject(s): Longing | |||
AT the outer edge of the world, Where the long grey mists arise, Between the sunset and the sea I gaze with longing eyes. 0 the twilight and dreams for me, And the things my fancy paints -- My hopes the light upon the sea Which slowly faints and faints. The surge and beat of the sea, The mournful and endless dole, -- They swell with a thousand questionings And overflow my soul. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ABOARD!
