THE LITTLE SALAMANDER by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN I GO FREE
Last Line: DANCE BURNING THROUGH THE NIGHT.
When I go free,
I think 'twill be
A night of stars and snow,
And the wild fires of frost shall light
My footsteps as I go;
Nobody -- nobody will be there
With groping touch, or sight,
To see me in my bush of hair
Dance burning through the night.
