NOCTURNE, by WINIFRED LUCAS First Line: A face on sleep as easily intent Last Line: To thought alone. Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs. Subject(s): Dreams; Love; Nightmares | ||||||||
A FACE on sleep as easily intent As on some purpose of the day's delight; To what dream turned, with what things heavenly blent, More exquisite? Composed at length night's lonelier life to live, These hours, to effort of my care unknown, Are love's to love thee leisurely, and give To thought alone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
