WISTFULNESS, by KATHARINE ADAMS First Line: I could not see the land Last Line: Out in the night. Subject(s): Despair | ||||||||
I could not see the land The mist lay all too deep: O, you who understand Child, do not weep. I did not hear the bell That sounded from the shore But in my soul a knell Sounding ever more. I shall not come to you Back from the sad world's pain, Or see the dreaming blue Of your eyes again. You sing your evening song -- There in the candle light; O -- but the hours lay long Out in the night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DAY THAT WAS THAT DAY by AMY LOWELL MAN IN THE STREET OR HAND OVER MOUTH by HEATHER MCHUGH BURIAL RITES by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE CAMPS; FOR MARILYN HACKER by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
