WILL EVER?, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Will he ever be weary of wandering
Last Line: The islands are?
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter


Will he ever be weary of wandering,
The flaming sun?
Ever weary of waning in lovelight,
The white still moon?
Will ever a shepherd come
With a crook of simple gold,
And lead all the little stars
Like lambs to the fold?

Will ever the Wanderer sail
From over the sea,
Up the river of water,
To the stones to me?
Will he take us all into his ship,
Dreaming, and waft us far,
To where in the clouds of the West
The Islands are?
