SONG OF THE NIGHT AT DAYBREAK by ALICE MEYNELL

Poet Analysis

First Line: ALL MY STARS FORSAKE ME
Last Line: SICK WITH MEMORIES.
Subject(s): DAWN; SUNRISE;

All my stars forsake me,
And the dawn-winds shake me.
Where shall I betake me?

Whither shall I run
Till the set of sun,
Till the day be done?

To the mountain-mine,
To the boughs o' the pine,
To the blind man's eyne,

To a brow that is
Bowed upon the knees,
Sick with memories.
