PARTING AND RETURN: 1, by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON Poet's Biography First Line: All over, over - and my eyes Last Line: And homeless, I must feel the gale. Alternate Author Name(s): Liliencron, Detlev Von | ||||||||
All over, over--and my eyes Afar are straying in despair. All over--but the sea-gull flies, My plaintive escort, through the air. The gull returns: far, far away I leave my fatherland behind; An outcast from my home I stray Where I my grave had hoped to find. When yesterday, in parting pain, Enraged the linden bough I shook, And heard the partridge in the grain, A fever-spell my limbs o'ertook. My ship is pitching, tossed by waves, The mates are singing while they sail. My heart is tossed, it storms and raves, And homeless, I must feel the gale. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFTER PARTRIDGE SHOOTING by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON AUTUMN by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON CONTENT WAS FULL by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON DEEP LONGING by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON EARLY SPRING AT THE WOODS' EDGE by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON FLOWRETS by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON PARTING AND RETURN: 2 by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON SPHINX AMONG THE ROSES by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON STORM by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON THE BIRCH TREE by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON THE NEW RAILROAD by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON |
