WILLIAM DENIS BROWNE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: NIGHT AFTER NIGHT WE TWO TOGETHER HEARD
Last Line: THE SEVERING DEEP.

(Gallipoli, 11th June, 1915)

Night after night we two together heard
The music of the Ring,
The inmost silence of our being stirred
By voice and string.

Though I to-night in silence sit, and you,
In stranger silence, sleep,
Eternal music stirs and thrills anew
The severing deep.
