THE NIGHT-MARCH, by HERMAN MELVILLE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: With banners furled, and clarions mute Last Line: His mandate sends. Subject(s): Marching & Marches | ||||||||
With banners furled, and clarions mute, An army passes in the night; And beaming spears and helms salute The dark with bright. In silence deep the legions stream, With open ranks, in order true; Over boundless plains they stream and gleam -- No chief in view! Afar, in twinkling distance lost, (So legends tell) he lonely wends And back through all that shining host His mandate sends. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FLAG GOES BY by HENRY HOLCOMB BENNETT WITH COLORS GAY by HOWARD S.
