THE CLIFFS AT NEWPORT, by RUTH DANA First Line: O newport! Chosen sweetheart of the sea Last Line: From one who hopes, and, trusting, waits for me. Subject(s): Newport, Rhode Island | |||
O NEWPORT! chosen sweetheart of the sea, Wooed by the waves at each returning tide; The strong rocks guard thee, lest thou daintily Shouldst, slipping 'twixt their crags, flee as his bride. O waves! that beat upon a hopeless shore, That ask and call, and, weeping, turn again, So shall you rise and fall forevermore, Nor even time shall bring you joy for pain. Within the silent chamber of my heart It is as with the city and the sea; For Fate is strong, and holds me still apart From one who hopes, and, trusting, waits for me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A NEWPORT ROMANCE by FRANCIS BRET HARTE THE JEWISH CEMETERY AT NEWPORT by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE SKELETON IN ARMOR by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE NEWPORT TOWER by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD BEAUTIFUL NEWPORT ON THE BRAES O' THE SILVERY TAY by WILLIAM MCGONAGALL THE WAVES AT MIDNIGHT; THE CLIFFS, NEWPORT by SILAS WEIR MITCHELL THE ROMANCE OF A ROSE by NORA PERRY NEWPORT BEACH by HENRY THEODORE TUCKERMAN IDEA: 14.
