COMMONPLACES, by RUDYARD KIPLING Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Rain on the face of the sea Last Line: And . . . This is the end of my lay. Subject(s): Burlesque; Striptease | ||||||||
RAIN on the face of the sea, Rain on the sodden land, And the window-pane is blurred with rain As I watch it, pen in hand. Mist on the face of the sea, Mist on the sodden land, Filling the vales as daylight fails And blotting the desolate sand. Voices from out of the mist, Calling to one another: "Hath love an end, thou more than friend Thou dearer than ever brother?" Voices from out of the mist, Calling and passing away; But I cannot speak, for my voice is weak, And . . . this is the end of my lay. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVERS, AND A REFLECTION by CHARLES STUART CALVERLEY AFTER IKKYU: 14 by JAMES HARRISON TO A BURLESQUE SOUBRETTE by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY MARTIN LUTHER AT POTTSDAM by BARRY PAIN BURLESQUE by VICTOR GUSTAVE PLARR AN IDYLL OF PHATTE AND LEENE by ANONYMOUS FUZZY-WUZZY' (SOUDAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE) by RUDYARD KIPLING A SMUGGLER'S SONG by RUDYARD KIPLING A SONG TO MITHRAS by RUDYARD KIPLING |
