STANZAS TO A HINDOO AIR, by GEORGE GORDON BYRON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Oh! - my lonely - lonely - lonely - pillow! Last Line: Oh! My lone bosom! -- oh! My lonely pillow! Alternate Author Name(s): Byron, Lord; Byron, 6th Baron Subject(s): Nostalgia | |||
OH! -- my lonely -- lonely -- lonely -- Pillow! Where is my lover, where is my lover? Is it his bark which my dreary dreams discover? Far -- far away! and alone along the billow? Oh! my lonely -- lonely -- lonely -- Pillow! Why must my head ache where his gentle brow lay? How the long night flags lovelessly and slowly, And my head droops over thee like the willow! Oh! thou, my sad and solitary Pillow! Send me kind dreams to keep my heart from breaking, In return for the tears I shed upon thee waking; Let me not die till he comes back o'er the billow. Then if thou wilt -- no more my lonely Pillow, In one embrace let these arms again enfold him, And then expire of the joy -- but to behold him! Oh! my lone bosom! -- oh! my lonely Pillow! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BELL FROM EUROPE by WELDON KEES THE STONE TABLE by GALWAY KINNELL LETTER TO MAXINE SULLIVAN by HAYDEN CARRUTH HANGING THE BLUE NUNS; FOR WARREN CARRIER by MADELINE DEFREES OF POLITICS, & ART by NORMAN DUBIE MY SISTER LIKED THE POSTCARD OF SNOW by ANSELM HOLLO THE PLAYER PIANO by RANDALL JARRELL ALL IS VANITY, SAITH THE PREACHER' by GEORGE GORDON BYRON |
