SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 80, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: Out of the dust that bore thee Last Line: Was half so dear as thou? Subject(s): Love | |||
Out of the dust that bore thee, What wonder walking came, -- What beauty like blown grasses, What ardour like still flame! What patience of the mountains, What yearning of the sea, What far eternal impulse Endowed the world with thee? A reed within the river, A leaf upon the bough, What breath of April ever Was half so dear as thou? | 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 |
