COMMUNION: 2. NOCTURNE, by ARVIA MACKAYE Poet's Biography First Line: Night, night, let down your hair Last Line: My soul's too vast alone. Subject(s): Moon; Night; Soul; Bedtime | ||||||||
Night, night, let down your hair And shut away the stars! Veil the moon in widowed greyness. My soul is sad with care. Night, night, be deep in silence, Hush the breeze's song. Hold me to thy breast more closely. -- My soul's too vast alone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN COMMUNION: 1.
