EARLY AWAY, by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE Poet's Biography First Line: The morning frost shines gray Last Line: A chill across my heart. Alternate Author Name(s): Moricke, Eduard Friedrich | |||
THE morning frost shines gray Along the misty field Beneath the pallid way Of early dawn revealed. Amid the glow one sees The day-star disappear; Yet o'er the western trees The moon is shining clear. So, too, I send my glance On distant scenes to dwell; I see in torturing trance The night of our farewell. Blue eyes, a lake of bliss, Swim dark before my sight, Thy breath, I feel, thy kiss; I hear thy whispering light. My cheek upon thy breast The streaming tears bedew, Till, purple-black, is cast A veil across my view. The sun comes out; he glows, And straight my dreams depart, While from the cliffs he throws A chill across my heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SONG FOR TWO IN THE NIGHT by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE AN ERROR CHANCED by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE MY RIVER by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE PRAYER by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE SECLUSION by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE THE FORSAKEN MAIDEN by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE THE NEW LOVE by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE THE OLD WEATHERCOCK: AN IDYLL by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE THE SOLDIER'S BETROTHED by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE THINK OF IT, MY SOUL by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE |
