SONG, by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE Poet's Biography First Line: Up and down the beach I wander Last Line: And sad is my heart. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
UP and down the beach I wander Here to-night beside the sea, In my ears the ocean-thunder, In my heart the dreams of thee. The sea, the sea is high, love, Dark, dark, 0 dark, the sky, love, And sad is my heart. In thy outward journey passing Through the narrow gates of night, Was there travail in the massing Of the waters void of light? 0 the sea, the sea is high, love, Swift surge the waters by, love, And sad is my heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD SCINTILLA by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE |
