LAPLAND, by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: With blue cold nose and wrinkled brow Last Line: The food their niggard plains deny. Alternate Author Name(s): Aikin, Anna Letitia | ||||||||
"With blue cold nose and wrinkled brow, Traveller, whence comest thou?" From Lapland woods and hills of frost By the rapid rein-deer crost; Where tap'ring grows the gloomy fir, And the stunted juniper; Where the wild hare and the crow Whiten in surrounding snow; Where the shiv'ring huntsmen tear His fur coat from the grim white bear; Where the wolf and arctic fox Prowl among the lonely rocks; And tardy suns to deserts drear Give days and nights of half a year. From icy oceans, where the whale Tosses in foam his lashing tail; Where the snorting sea-horse shows His ivory teeth in grinning rows; Where tumbling in their seal-skin boat Fearless the hungry fishers float, And from teeming seas supply The food their niggard plains deny. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TOMORROW by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD WASHING-DAY by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD A SUMMER EVENING'S MEDITATION by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD HYMN: 2 by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LIFE [AND DEATH] by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ON THE EXPECTED GENERAL RISING OF THE FRENCH NATION IN 1792 by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE MOUSE'S PETITION TO DOCTOR PRIESTLY FOUND IN THE TRAP .. by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE SABBATH OF THE SOUL by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD TO A LITTLE INVISIBLE BEING WHO IS EXPECTED SOON TO BECOME VISIBLE by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD |
