SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 44, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: Wait for me, cherrychild, when the blue dusk Last Line: Child, cherrychild. Subject(s): Longing | ||||||||
Wait for me, Cherrychild, when the blue dusk Falls from the silent star-spaces and fills With utter peace the great heart of the hills, Child, Cherrychild! Call to me, Cherrychild, when the blue dusk First throbs to passion among the dark hills, In the brown throats of the lone whippoorwills, Child, Cherrychild! Come to me, Cherrychild, in the blue dusk! Forlorn and loverless as the wild sea, Long have I lain alone, longing for thee, Child, Cherrychild. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ABOARD!
