SONG IN THE NIGHT, by OTTO JULIUS BIERBAUM First Line: Streets to left, and streets to right Last Line: Would I were a guest within! Subject(s): Night; Bedtime | |||
Streets to left, and streets to right, Dull and dank it seems, As I wander in the night Wakened from my dreams. Yearning, Burning, Pain and smart, Whither dost thou sink, my heart? Whither dost thou sink, my heart? There's a house with shutters green Far away from town, Where the river rolls serene Moving, murmuring down. Bowers, Flowers! Fold it in! Would I were a guest within! Would I were a guest within! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN BLACKSMITH PAIN by OTTO JULIUS BIERBAUM |
