SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 81, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: Remnants of this soul of mine Last Line: More compelling than the sea. Subject(s): Love - Nature Of | ||||||||
Remnants of this soul of mine, This same self that once was me, Flock and gather and grow one, Whole once more at thought of thee. Never yet was such a love, So supremely fond as thou; Never mortal lover yet So beloved as thine is now. I a foam-head in the sea, Thou the tide to lift and run; I a sombre-crested hill, Thou the purple light thereon. Tide may ebb and light may fail, But not love's sincerity, -- More enduring than the sun, More compelling than the sea. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RESCUE THE DEAD by DAVID IGNATOW BUTTERFLIES UNDER PERSIMMON by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 27 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 30 by JAMES JOYCE HE WHO KNOWS LOVE by ELSA BARKER LOVE'S HUMBLENESS by ELSA BARKER SONG (IN THE LUCKY CHANCE) by APHRA BEHN A MORE ANCIENT MARINER by BLISS CARMAN |
