WRITTEN ON THE SEA-SHORE by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS

Poet Analysis

First Line: HOW AWFUL, HOW SUBLIME THIS VIEW
Last Line: AND NOW AN AWFUL STILLNESS REIGNS AROUND.
Subject(s): SEASHORE; BEACH; COAST; SHORE;

HOW awful, how sublime this view,
Each day presenting something new.
Hark ! now the seas majestic roar,
And now the birds their warblings pour;
Now yonder lark's sweet notes resound,
And now an awful stillness reigns around.
