GIGHA, by WILLIAM SYDNEY GRAHAM Poet's Biography First Line: That firewood pale with salt and burning green Last Line: The sun with long legs wades into the sea. Alternate Author Name(s): Graham, W. S. Subject(s): Drowning; Sea; Ocean | ||||||||
That firewood pale with salt and burning green Outfloats its men who waved with a sound of drowning Their saltcut hands over mazes of this rough bay. Quietly this morning beside the subsided herds Of water I walk. The children wade the shallows. The sun with long legs wades into the sea. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS TO MY FATHER by WILLIAM SYDNEY GRAHAM |
