IN THE MORNING YOU ALWAYS COME BACK, by CESARE PAVESE Poet's Biography First Line: The glimmer of dawn / breathes with your mouth Last Line: You are light and morning. Subject(s): Morning; Rebirth; Waking | ||||||||
The glimmer of dawn breathes with your mouth at the end of empty streets. The gray light of your eyes sweet drops of dawn on the dark hills. Your step and your breath flood over the houses like wind at daybreak. The city quivers, stones scent the air you are life, renewal. A star eclipsed by the light of dawn, a creaking breeze, warmth, breath the night is finished. You are light and morning. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POEM IN ORANGE TONES by MARVIN BELL ON RISING FROM THE DEAD by CAROLYN KIZER WAKING EARLY SUNDAY MORNING by ROBERT LOWELL THE AWAKENING by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THE WAKING (2) by THEODORE ROETHKE |
