SNOW (2), by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: No breath of wind Last Line: His lonely tune. Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter Subject(s): Snow | ||||||||
No breath of wind, No gleam of sun -- Still the white snow Whirls softly down -- Twig and bough And blade and thorn All in an icy Quiet, forlorn. Whispering, rustling, Through the air, On sill and stone, Roof -- everywhere, It heaps its powdery Crystal flakes, Of every tree A mountain makes; Till pale and faint At shut of day, Stoops from the West One wintry ray. And, feathered in fire, Where ghosts the moon, A robin shrills His lonely tune. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BRIGHT SUN AFTER HEAVY SNOW by JANE KENYON SNOW FALLING THROUGH FOG by WILLIAM MATTHEWS THE SNOW FAIRY by CLAUDE MCKAY NOT ONLY ESKIMOS by LISEL MUELLER ALL THAT'S PAST by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
