OH, WHERE ART THOU DREAMING, by THOMAS MOORE Poet's Biography Last Line: Yet thou comest not! Alternate Author Name(s): Little, Thomas Subject(s): Homecoming; Love | ||||||||
OH, where art thou dreaming On land or on sea? In my lattice is gleaming The watch-light for thee; And this fond heart is glowing To welcome thee home. And the night is fast going, But thou art not come: No, thou comest not! 'Tis the time when night-flowers Should wake from their rest: 'Tis the hour of all hours When the lute singeth best. But the flowers are half sleeping Till thy glance they see! And the hushed lute is keeping Its music for thee: Yet thou comest not! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A CANADIAN BOAT SONG; WRITTEN ON THE RIVER ST.
