NIGHT AND MORNING SONGS: 9. A MAD MAID'S SONG, by GORDON BOTTOMLEY Poet's Biography First Line: The day had a sunless dawning Last Line: Find sweetness in death's peace. | |||
THE day had a sunless dawning, The lark forgot to sing -- Is this the lark that creeps in the grass With a trailing wounded wing? My tears with the rain are mingled: Of rain and tears I am fain, For I and all the other flowers Are sweetest after rain. The day has a sunless ending; The rain will never cease; The other flowers, weary and wrecked, Find sweetness in death's peace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEDICATIONS AND INSCRIPTIONS: 6.
