WINTER DUSK, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I watch the great clear twilight Last Line: And thank her that I was born Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): War; Mothers | |||
I watch the great clear twilight Veiling the ice-bowed trees; Their branches tinkle faintly With crystal melodies. The larches bend their silver Over the hush of snow; One star is lighted in the west, Two in the zenith glow. For a moment I have forgotten Wars and women who mourn, I think of the mother who bore me And thank her that I was born. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY MOTHER'S HANDS by ANDREW HUDGINS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS IN THE 25TH YEAR OF MY MOTHER'S DEATH by JUDY JORDAN THE PAIDLIN' WEAN by ALEXANDER ANDERSON BLASTING FROM HEAVEN by PHILIP LEVINE |
