IMPRESSIONS OF A TRAVELLER, by KAO SHIH First Line: In a silent, desolate spot Last Line: On the wanderer's soul to-night! Alternate Author Name(s): Ta-fu | |||
In a silent, desolate spot, In the night stone-frozen and clear, The wanderer's hand on the sail Is gripped by the fingers of fear. He looketh afar o'er the waves, Wind-ruffled and deep and green; And the mantle of Autumn lies Over wood and hill and ravine. 'Tis Autumn! -- time of decay, And the dead leaves' 'wildering flight; And the mantle of Autumn lies On the wanderer's soul to-night! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNTITLED, 1968; FOR MARK ROTHKO by JAMES GALVIN AND SO, I THINK DIOGENES by AMY LOWELL THE BARD; A PINDARIC ODE by THOMAS GRAY DOLCINO TO MARGARET by CHARLES KINGSLEY THE SCRUTINY; SONG by RICHARD LOVELACE REUBEN BRIGHT by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 130 by ALFRED TENNYSON NUPTIAL ODE ON THE MARRIAGE OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN |
