FRAGMENTS (6) by GEORGE MEREDITH

Poet Analysis

First Line: FROM LABOURS THROUGH THE NIGHT, OUTWORN
Last Line: WE MOUNT TO HER, TO HER BELONG.
Subject(s): NIGHT; WIND; BEDTIME;

FROM labours through the night, outworn,
Above the hills the front of morn
We see, whose eyes to heights are raised,
And the world's wise may deem us crazed.
While yet her lord lies under seas,
She takes us as the wind the trees'
Delighted leafage; all in song
We mount to her, to her belong.
