THE TIDE ROCK, by CHARLES KINGSLEY Poet's Biography First Line: How sleeps yon rock, whose half-day's bath is done Last Line: A gallant front to this world's gaudy glare. Subject(s): Stones; Granite; Rocks | ||||||||
HOW sleeps yon rock, whose half-day's bath is done. With broad bright side beneath the broad bright sun, Like sea-nymph tired, on cushioned mosses sleeping. Yet, nearer drawn, beneath her purple tresses From drooping brows we find her slowly weeping. So many a wife for cruel man's caresses Must inly pine and pine, yet outward bear A gallant front to this world's gaudy glare. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STONE'S SECRET by MARGARET AVISON CONTRA MORTEM: THE STONE by HAYDEN CARRUTH NAMING FOR LOVE by HAYDEN CARRUTH OF THE STONES OF THE PLACE by ROBERT FROST THE EYE IN THE ROCK by JOHN HAINES THE HEAD ON THE TABLE by JOHN HAINES A FAREWELL [TO C.E.G.] by CHARLES KINGSLEY A ROUGH RHYME ON A ROUGH MATTER; THE ENGLISH GAME LAWS by CHARLES KINGSLEY |
