SEA SLUMBER-SONG, by RODEN BERKELEY WRIOTHESLEY NOEL Poet's Biography First Line: Sea birds are asleep Last Line: "good-night!" Subject(s): Mothers; Sea; Ocean | |||
Sea-birds are asleep, The world forgets to weep, Sea murmurs her soft slumber-song On the shadowy sand Of this elfin land; "I, the Mother mild, Hush thee, O my child, Forget the voices wild! Isles in elfin light Dream, the rocks and caves, Lull'd by whispering waves, Veil their marbles bright, Foam glitters faintly white Upon the shelly sand Of this elfin land; Sea-sound, like violins, To slumber woos and wins. I murmur my soft slumber-song, Leave woes and wails, and sins, Ocean's shadowy might Breathes good-night, Good-night!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS BARBAROSSA by RODEN BERKELEY WRIOTHESLEY NOEL |
