BATTLE: 2. THE DANCERS, by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: All day beneath the hurtling shells Last Line: Above the dreamless dead. | ||||||||
All day beneath the hurtling shells Before my burning eyes Hover the dainty demoiselles -- The peacock dragon-flies. Unceasingly they dart and glance Above the stagnant stream -- And I am fighting here in France As in a senseless dream -- A dream of shattering black shells That hurtle overhead, And dainty dancing demoiselles Above the dreamless dead. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BETWEEN THE LINES by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON BREAKFAST by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON FLANNAN ISLE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON FOR G. by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON GERANIUMS by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON LAMENT by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON RETREAT by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON RUPERT BROOKE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON THE GORSE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON THE ICE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON |
