AFTER THE RAIN, by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The rain has ceased, and in my room Last Line: With purple ripples on her neck. Subject(s): Nature; Rain | |||
THE rain has ceased, and in my room The sunshine pours an airy flood; And on the church's dizzy vane The ancient Cross is bathed in blood. From out the dripping ivy-leaves, Antiquely carven, gray and high, A dormer, facing westward, looks Upon the village like an eye. And now it glimmers in the sun, A square of gold, a disc, a speck: And in the belfry sits a Dove With purple ripples on her neck. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DISTANT RAINFALL by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 32 by JAMES JOYCE HEAVY SUMMER RAIN by JANE KENYON CROWD CORRALLING by MARGARET AVISON THE RAIN-POOL by KARLE WILSON BAKER |
