CLASSIC ANTHOLOGY AS DEFINED BY CONFUCIUS: ALBA, by EZRA POUND Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Creeper grows over thorn
Last Line: But at last to the one same house
First Line: Creeper grows over thorn
Last Line: But at last to the one same house
Creeper grows over thorn,
bracken wilds over waste, he is gone,
Gone, I am alone.
Creeper overgrows thorn,
Concle asp entrever the grave, he is one,
The horn pillow is white like rice,
the silk shroud gleams as if with tatters of fire.
In the sunrise I am alone.
A summer's day,
winter's night, a hundred years
and we come to one house together.
Winter's day, summer's night,
each night as winter night,
each day long as of summer,
but at last to the one same house.
