EVENEN IN THE VILLAGE, by WILLIAM BARNES Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Now the light o' the west is a-turn'd to gloom Last Line: Wi' his pipe an' his cider can. Subject(s): Evening; Spring; Sunset; Twilight | ||||||||
Now the light o' the west is a-turn'd to gloom, An' the men be at hwome vrom ground; An' the bells be a-zenden all down the Coombe From tower, their mwoansome sound. An' the wind is still, An' the house-dogs do bark, An' the rooks be a-vled to the elems high an' dark, An' the water do roar at mill. An' the flickeren light drough the window-peane Vrom the candle's dull fleame do shoot, An' young Jemmy the smith is a-gone down leane, A-playen his shrill-vaiced flute. An' the miller's man Do zit down at his ease On the seat that is under the cluster o' trees, Wi' his pipe an' his cider can. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN FEBRUARY EVENING IN NEW YORK by DENISE LEVERTOV THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON NINETEEN FORTY by NORMAN DUBIE A WINTER NIGHT by WILLIAM BARNES |
