SONG, by C. KATHLEEN CARMAN First Line: Sleep, o, my darling, sleep Last Line: O, wake, my darling, wake. Subject(s): Love - Loss Of | ||||||||
Sleep, O my darling, sleep, Safe folded are the sheep; The faint stars lie in the quiet sky, The soft wind croons thy lullaby; The leaves upon the linden tree Are whispering tenderly to thee; And close at hand lies Slumberland, O, sleep, my darling, sleep. Wake, O my darling, wake, The sunbeams kiss the lake; The seagulls fly to the eastern sky, The happy ships are sailing by; The birds upon the linden tree Are calling merrily to thee; The whole glad earth is rimmed with mirth O, wake, my darling, wake. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE A SCOTCH SONG by JOANNA BAILLIE |
