A POEM FOR MAX NORDAU, by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Dun shades quiver down the lone long fallow Last Line: Dun shades quiver down the lone long fallow. Subject(s): Nordau, Max Simon (1849-1923) | |||
Dun shades quiver down the lone long fallow, And the scared night shudders at the brown owl's cry; The bleak reeds rattle as the winds whirl by, And frayed leaves flutter through the clumped shrubs callow. Chill dews clinging on the low cold mallow Make a steel-keen shimmer where the spent stems lie; Dun shades quiver down the lone long fallow, And the scared night shudders at the brown owl's cry. Pale stars peering through the clouds' curled shallow Make a thin still flicker in a foul round sky; Black damp shadows through the hushed air fly; The lewd gloom wakens to a moon-sad sallow, Dun shades quiver down the lone long fallow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN ISLAND (SAINT HELENA, 1821) by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ANOTHER DARK LADY by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON BALLADE OF DEAD FRIENDS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON CAPUT MORTUUM by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON CHARLES CARVILLE'S EYES by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON CORTEGE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON DEMOS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON DOCTOR OF BILLIARDS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ERASMUS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON FLEMING HELPHENSTINE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON |
