SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 2, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: The day is lost without thee Last Line: All know how good it is. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
The day is lost without thee, The night has not a star. Thy going is an empty room Whose door is left ajar. Depart: it is the footfall Of twilight on the hills. Return: and every rood of ground Breaks into daffodils. Thy coming is companioned By presences of bliss; The rivers and the little leaves All know how good it is. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A MORE ANCIENT MARINER by BLISS CARMAN |
