PATIENCE, by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The wind comes from the north Last Line: To the lode of her agony. Alternate Author Name(s): Lawrence, D. H. Variant Title(s): Suspicion Subject(s): Patience | ||||||||
A WIND comes from the north Blowing little flocks of birds Like spray across the town, And a train, roaring forth, Rushes stampeding down With cries and flying curds Of steam, out of the darkening north. Whither I turn and set Like a needle steadfastly, Waiting ever to get The news that she is free; But ever fixed, as yet, To the lode of her agony. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOD WAITS FOR THE WANDERING WORLD by LUCILLE CLIFTON A BABY ASLEEP AFTER PAIN by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE |
