THE IMPRISONED SEA-WINDS, by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Voices of strange sea breezes caught Last Line: And the sea's mystery sighs through all. Subject(s): Sea; Ocean | ||||||||
VOICES of strange sea breezes caught, Half tangled in the pine-tree tall, With ocean's tenderest music fraught, Serenely rise, and sweetly fall. They charm the lids of wearied eyes, And all the dreamy senses bless With breath of wave-born symphonies, And balms of mild forgetfulness, 'Till o'er the fragrant calms of peace, My soul, scarce moved, benignly glides, Or in all sorrows' soft surcease, Rocks tranced on the phantom tides: But still those faint sea voices speak, Those prisoned sea winds rise and fall, The ghost of sea foam sweeps my cheek, And the sea's mystery sighs through all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS A STORM IN THE DISTANCE (AMONG THE GEORGIAN HILLS) by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE |
