NAHANT, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Bowed as an elm under the weight of its beauty, Last Line: Slim in his khaki Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Nature; War | |||
Bowed as an elm under the weight of its beauty, So earth is bowed, under her weight of splendor, Molten sea, richness of leaves and the burnished Bronze of sea-grasses. Clefts in the cliff shelter the purple sand-peas And chicory flowers bluer than the ocean Flinging its foam high, white fire in sunshine, Jewels of water. Joyous thunder of blown waves on the ledges, Make me forget war and the dark war-sorrow Against the sky a sentry paces the sea-cliff Slim in his khaki. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I AM YOUR WAITER TONIGHT AND MY NAME IS DIMITRI by ROBERT HASS MITRAILLIATRICE by ERNEST HEMINGWAY RIPARTO D'ASSALTO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY WAR VOYEURS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SO MANY BLOOD-LAKES by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
