WATER WOMAN, by JOSEPH AUSLANDER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Having lived here so long, she Last Line: When she was done. Subject(s): Birds; Sea; Water; Ocean | ||||||||
Having lived here so long, she, Being what she was, the daughter Of a man who drowned at sea, Talked like water. To her speech water gave Something that was not in words: As you hear the lonely wave In sea-birds. She, whom none could quite possess, Washed cool with salt and sun, Took the sea like a caress When she was done. | 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 |
