SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 22, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: Eyes like the blue-green Last Line: Virginal wild. Subject(s): Sea | ||||||||
Eyes like the blue-green Shine of the sea, Where the swift shadows run, Whose soul is free. Shimmer of sunlight, Shadow of gloom, Wayward as ecstasy, Solemn as doom. Triumph, transplendour, Joy through and through, Till the soul wonders what Sense next may do. Hair like the blown grass Brown on the hill, Where the wide wandering Wind has his will. Spirit, the nomad, Whither to wend, Knows not and fears not, To the world's end. Seadusk or Dawnbright Name the earth's child, Like the wind, like the sea, Virginal wild. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS A MORE ANCIENT MARINER by BLISS CARMAN |
