TWILIGHT, by ROBERT FROST Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Why am I first in thy so sad regard Last Line: And thou art here and I am everywhere! Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight | |||
Why am I first in thy so sad regard, O twilight gazing from I know not where? I fear myself as one more than I guessed! Am I instead of one so very fair? -- That thou art sorrowful and I oppressed? High in the isolating air, Over the inattentive moon, Two birds sail on great wings, And vanish soon. (And they leave the north sky bare!) The far-felt solitudes that harbor night, Wake to the singing of the wood-bird's fright. By invocation, O wide silentness, Thy spirit and my spirit pass in air! They are unmemoried consciousness, Nor great nor less! And thou art here and I am everywhere! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN FEBRUARY EVENING IN NEW YORK by DENISE LEVERTOV THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON NINETEEN FORTY by NORMAN DUBIE |
