DESPONDENCY, by MATTHEW ARNOLD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The thoughts that rain their steady glow Last Line: And never come again. Subject(s): Despair | |||
THE thoughts that rain their steady glow Like stars on life's cold sea, Which others know, or say they know-- They never shone for me. Thoughts light, like gleams, my spirit's sky, But they will not remain. They light me once, they hurry by, And never come again. | 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 |
