FACES IN THE NIGHT, by WILLIAM A. BYRNE Poet's Biography First Line: I see them through the night Last Line: Look rather with the eyes that once ye had! Alternate Author Name(s): Dara, William Subject(s): Faces | ||||||||
I SEE them through the night, Those still, but speaking faces, Faces full of dreams, Like lonely forest places, Fringed with glooming light, And fraught with hush of leaves and withered streams. Who look along the night With such dream-laden eyes, Eyelids drooped and sad? Ah, days that will not rise, Plumed for no new flight, Look rather with the eyes that once ye had! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHEN WE LOOK UP by DENISE LEVERTOV HISTORY OF MY FACE by KHALED MATTAWA WOMAN IN FRONT OF POSTER OF HERSELF by ALICE NOTLEY THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN LOOKING AT AGING FACES by ROBERT BLY WHAT MAKES THIS STATUE NOBLE SEEMING by KENNETH KOCH SONG OF A TURF-SOD by WILLIAM A.
