FAR AWAY, by ISAAC ROSENBERG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: By what pale light or moon-pale shore Last Line: Far below in earthly skies. Subject(s): Soul | |||
By what pale light or moon-pale shore Drifts my soul in lonely flight? Regions God had floated o'er Ere He touched the world with light? Not in Heaven and not in earth Is this water, is this moon; For there is no starry birth, And no dawning and no noon. Far away -- O far away, Mist-born -- dewy vapours rise From the dim gates of the day Far below in earthly skies. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRUEL FALCON by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE WHOLE SOUL by PHILIP LEVINE I KNOW MY SOUL by CLAUDE MCKAY HONORING THE SAND; IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL by ROBERT BLY THE CHINESE PEAKS; FOR DONALD HALL by ROBERT BLY THE LIFE OF TOWNS: TOWN OF THE EXHUMATION by ANNE CARSON A BALLAD OF WHITECHAPEL by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
