THE SHADOW, by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Soft as the bed in the earth
Last Line: Brings dark to my eyes.
First Line: Soft as the bed in the earth
Last Line: Brings dark to my eyes.
Soft as the bed in the earth
where a stone has lain --
so soft, so smooth and so cool
Spring closes me in
with her arms and her hands.
Rich as the smell
of new earth on a stone
that has lain breathing
the damp through its pores --
Spring closes me in
with her blossomy hair
brings dark to my eyes.
