IN QUEST, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: With the first blush of morning, my soul is awing Last Line: And slumber at night-fall, refreshed by my tears. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
With the first blush of morning, my soul is awing, Away o'er the phantom lands free, wandering, I seek thee in hamlet, in woodland, and hall, Till night-shades, enfolding my tired heart, fall. Yet ever and alway, like the thrush in a tree, My heart lifts its preluding love-song to thee; I call through the days, through the long weary years, And slumber at night-fall, refreshed by my tears. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
