LANDSCAPE; TWILIGHT, by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Gaunt shadows stretch along the hill Last Line: Was star of bethlehem! Subject(s): Landscape | |||
GAUNT shadows stretch along the hill; Cold clouds drift slowly west; Soft flocks of vagrant snow-flakes fill The redwing's empty nest. By sunken reefs the hoarse sea roars; Above the shelving sands, Like skeletons the sycamores Uplift their wasted hands. The air is full of hints of grief, Strange voices touched with pain -- The pathos of the falling leaf And rustling of the rain. In yonder cottage shines a light, Far-gleaming like a gem -- Not fairer to the Rabbins' sight Was star of Bethlehem! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE PLACE FOR NO STORY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS VARIATIONS ON A NEO-CLASSIC THEME by DONALD JUSTICE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS KENNST DU DAS LAND by LEONIE ADAMS INVITATION TO A PAINTER: 3 by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM SONNET: 19.
