ARABY, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Dark-browed sailor, tell me now Last Line: Ah, heart-beguiling araby! Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter | ||||||||
'Dark-browed Sailor, tell me now, Where, where is Araby? The tide's aflow, the wind ablow, 'Tis I who pine for Araby.' 'Master, she her spices showers O'er nine and ninety leagues of sea; The laden air breathes faint and rare -- Dreams on far-distant Araby.' 'Oh, but Sailor, tell me true; 'Twas Man who mapped this Araby; Though dangers brew, let me and you Embark this night for Araby. . . .' Wails the wind from star to star; Rock the loud waves their dirge: and, see! Through foam and wrack, a boat drifts back: Ah, heart-beguiling Araby! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ARABIA by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BUNCHES OF GRAPES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ECHO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ENGLAND (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FARE WELL by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FIVE EYES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
