THE NEW MOON, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Day, you have bruised and beaten me Last Line: When a maiden moon wakes up in the sky? Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Moon | |||
Day, you have bruised and beaten me, As rain beats down the bright, proud sea, Beaten my body, bruised my soul, Left me nothing lovely or whole, Yet I have wrested a gift from you, Day that dies in dusky blue: For suddenly over the factories I saw a moon in the cloudy seas, A wisp of beauty all alone In a world as hard and gray as stone, Oh who could be bitter and want to die When a maiden moon wakes up in the sky? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN THE MOON AND THE SPECTATOR by LEONIE ADAMS FULL MOON by KARLE WILSON BAKER NO MORE OF THE MOON by MORRIS GILBERT BISHOP THE DEPARTURE by DENISE LEVERTOV THE MOON IN GREECE by TIMOTHY LIU |
