CHANGE, by RAYMOND KNISTER Poet's Biography First Line: I shall not wonder more, then Last Line: But I shall know. Subject(s): Change; Nature | ||||||||
I shall not wonder more, then, But I shall know. Leaves change, and birds, flowers, And after years are still the same. The sea's breast heaves in sighs to the moon, But they are moon and sea forever. As in other times the trees stand tense and lonely, And spread a hollow moan of other times You will be you yourself, I'll find you more, not else, For vintage of the woeful years. The sea breathes, or broods, or loudens, Is bright or is mist and the end of the world; And the sea is constant to change. I shall not wonder more, then, But I shall know. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
