THE CONGREGATION, by GAMALIEL BRADFORD First Line: The ghosts of night's long hours depart Last Line: To dissipate great sorrows. Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness | ||||||||
The ghosts of night's long hours depart In congregation dreary, And leave my sorrow-trampled heart Intolerably weary. But chirpings bright in dewy wood Foretell divine tomorrows, And little birds are very good To dissipate great sorrows. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS |
