The storm-light fades from the cloud-banked west, While the waves sing low; A chill creeps down thro' the vague unrest, And the pines stir slow. The timbers drift high up the shore's broad breast Where the piled sands blow, And scant grasses climb in their wandering quest Where the headboards show, To their lonely watch by the stranger guest. The moon hangs low. An eagle floats high to his hemlock nest. The far lamp glows. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RICHARD, WHAT'S THAT NOISE? by RICHARD HOWARD LOOKING FOR THE GULF MOTEL by RICHARD BLANCO RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
