DRYADS, by SIEGFRIED SASSOON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When meadows are grey with the morn Last Line: Whisper, and hide, and are still. Subject(s): Soldiers' Writings | ||||||||
WHEN meadows are grey with the morn In the dusk of the woods it is night: The oak and the birch and the pine War with the glimmer of light. Dryads brown as the leaf Move in the gloom of the glade; When meadows are grey with the morn Dim night in the wood has delayed. The cocks that crow to the land Are faint and hollow and shrill: Dryads brown as the leaf Whisper, and hide, and are still. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A WORKING PARTY by SIEGFRIED SASSOON AFTERMATH by SIEGFRIED SASSOON BASE DETAILS by SIEGFRIED SASSOON BLIGHTERS by SIEGFRIED SASSOON COUNTER-ATTACK by SIEGFRIED SASSOON EVERYONE SANG by SIEGFRIED SASSOON FALLING ASLEEP by SIEGFRIED SASSOON |
