SHADOWS, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: We saw our shadows walking before us Last Line: With the dark sea booming into the night. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Shadows | |||
We saw our shadows walking before us Etched on the hard sand, flat and grey, The last thin edge of the waves crept near us, The autumn sunshine tried to be gay. Chained to the shadows our bodies made there Slowly we walked in the dwindling light; Our shadows faded, like wraiths we wandered With the dark sea booming into the night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ANIMAL INSIDE THE ANIMAL by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN DRIVING ALONGSIDE THE HOUSANTONIC RIVER ALONE ON A RAINY APRIL NIGHT by WILLIAM MATTHEWS NOCTURNE IN A MINOR KEY by CONRAD AIKEN SONATA IN PATHOS by CONRAD AIKEN I LOOKED FOR LIFE AND DID A SHADOW SEE by JAMES GALVIN |
