QUARNERO, by HILAIRE BELLOC Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Oh! My companion, oh! My sister sleep! Last Line: Oh! My companion, oh! My sister sleep! Alternate Author Name(s): Belloc, Joseph Hilaire Pierre Rene | |||
Oh! My companion, oh! my sister Sleep! The valley is all before us, bear me on. High through the heaven of evening, hardly gone, Beyond the harbour lights, beyond the steep, Beyond the land and its lost benison To where, majestic on the darkening deep, The night comes forward from Mount Aurion, Oh! My companion, oh! my sister Sleep! Above the surf-line, into the night-breeze; Eastward above the ever-whispering seas; Down the warm airs with no more watch to keep. My day's run out and all its dooms are graven Oh! Dear Forerunner of Death and promise of haven Oh! My companion, oh! my sister Sleep! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
