A FARM NEAR ZILLEBEKE, by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Black clouds hide the moon, the amazement is gone Last Line: Black clouds hid the moon, tears blinded me more. Alternate Author Name(s): Blunden, Edmund Subject(s): World War I; First World War | ||||||||
BLACK clouds hide the moon, the amazement is gone; The morning will come in weeping and rain; The Line is all hushed -- on a sudden anon The fool bullets clack and guns mouth again. I stood in the yard of a house that must die, And still the black hame was stacked by the door, And harness still hung there, and the dray waited by. Black clouds hid the moon, tears blinded me more. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...D'ANNUNZIO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY 1915: THE TRENCHES by CONRAD AIKEN TO OUR PRESIDENT by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES CHILDREN OF THE WAR by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE U-BOAT CREWS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE RED CROSS NURSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES WAR PROFITS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE UNCHANGEABLE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN ALMSWOMEN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
