EVENING SONG: 4, by HEINRICH HEINE Poet's Biography First Line: The cloudlets are lazily sailing Last Line: To have a better stare! Subject(s): Atlantic Ocean; Happiness; Singing & Singers; Joy; Delight; Songs | ||||||||
THE cloudlets are lazily sailing O'er the blue Atlantic sea; And mid the twilight there hovers A shadowy figure o'er me. Full deep in my soul it gazes, With old-time-recalling eye, Like a glimpse of joys long buried, And happiness long gone by. Familiar the vision appeareth, Methinks I know it full well; 'Tis the much-loved shadow of Mary, Who on earth no longer doth dwell. She beckons in friendly silence, And clasps me with gentle despair; But I seize hold of my glasses, To have a better stare! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY |
