EUROCLYDON, by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN Poet's Biography First Line: Scarce loosed from crete Last Line: And undergird the ship. Alternate Author Name(s): Brown, T. E. Subject(s): Wind | ||||||||
SCARCE loosed from Crete -- Then, borne on wings of flame And sleet, The Euroclydon came. Strained yard, bent mast, With fury of his mouth The blast Compels us to the South Canst see, for spume And mist, and writhen air, A loom Of Clauda anywhere? Balked hopes, fooled wit! Ah soul, to gain this loss, Didst quit The shelter of His cross? Dear Lord, if Thou Wouldst walk upon the sea, My prow Unblenched should turn to Thee. Wind roars, wave yelps -- To Thy blest side I'd slip, Use helps, And undergird the ship. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE WIND by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN LEAF LITTER ON ROCK FACE by HEATHER MCHUGH RESIDENTIAL AREA by JOSEPHINE MILES THE DAY THE WINDS by JOSEPHINE MILES VARIATIONS: 12 by CONRAD AIKEN OH IT'S PRETTY WINDY OUTSIDE by LARRY EIGNER A SERMON AT CLEVEDON; GOOD FRIDAY by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN |
