ON THE HEATH, by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Her face's wilful flash and glow
Last Line: And flames before the feet of night.
Subject(s): Moors (land)
First Line: Her face's wilful flash and glow
Last Line: And flames before the feet of night.
Subject(s): Moors (land)
Her face's wilful flash and glow
Turned all its light upon my face
One bright delirious moment's space,
And then she passed; I followed slow
Across the heath, and up and round,
And watched the splendid death of day
Upon the summits far away,
And in her fateful beauty found
The fierce wild beauty of the light
That startles twilight on the hills,
And lightens all the mountain rills,
And flames before the feet of night.
