THE SONG OF FINIS, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: At the edge of all the ages Last Line: And quiet did quiet remain. Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter | ||||||||
At the edge of All the Ages A Knight sate on his steed, His armour red and thin with rust, His soul from sorrow freed; And he lifted up his visor From a face of skin and bone, And his horse turned head and whinnied As the twain stood there alone. No Bird above that steep of time Sang of a livelong quest; No wind breathed, Rest: 'Lone for an end!' cried Knight to steed, Loosed an eager rein -- Charged with his challenge into Space: And quiet did quiet remain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ARABIA by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BUNCHES OF GRAPES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ECHO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ENGLAND (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FARE WELL by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FIVE EYES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
