LIFE ON THE LAKES: REQUIEM, by ELIZABETH SEWELL HILL First Line: There's a far wet way to the journey's end Last Line: Where the headboards showsleep well, my friend! Subject(s): Sea Voyages; Storms | ||||||||
There's a far wet way to the journey's end, A wide wild way ere the storm's spew spend. There's a black blind way where the starred course bends, There's a choked, charred way should the fanned fires rend, A jagged, jutted way where the gaunt drifts trend But the sands lie soft and the grasses bend Where the headboards showSleep well, my friend! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STORM AT HOPTIME by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THERE IS A SOLEMN WIND TONIGHT by KATHERINE MANSFIELD DEWEY AND DANCER by JOSEPHINE MILES MICHAEL IS AFRAID OF THE STORM by GWENDOLYN BROOKS BREACHING THE ROCK by MADELINE DEFREES THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE OCEAN by STEPHEN DOBYNS OF POLITICS, & ART by NORMAN DUBIE TREMENDOUS WIND AND RAIN by ANSELM HOLLO COMING HOME by ELIZABETH SEWELL HILL |
