FOG, by EDITH CHERRINGTON First Line: The thick white smoke from the sea rolled in Last Line: The cold white smoke from the sea rolled in. Subject(s): Fog; Haze | ||||||||
The thick white smoke from the sea rolled in. In sweeping billows of mist it came, The cold white smoke from the ocean's flame; A ghost from the waterfront. Salt as sin Was the bitter breath of the heathless fire That leaped and crackled against the shore, Rising at times to a mighty roar When the waves flamed high as a tall church spire And the smoke it scattered was dank and thin. But under the smothering cowl of night When the damp fire smoldered, the stealthy white -- The cold white smoke from the sea rolled in. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS BELLEVUE EXCHANGE by NORMAN DUBIE THE SEA FOG by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN |
