DAY AND NIGHT, by LEWIS MORRIS (1833-1907) Poet's Biography First Line: Night comes and hides a way Last Line: New light. Subject(s): Life | ||||||||
Night comes and hides away The splendours of the Day; Death, like a veil, makes dark Life's spark, But as upon the sky Soon as the sunbeams die, Glimmers some feeble star Afar, Life, hidden from our eyes, Rises on other skies, And draws from suns more bright, New light. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRIVILEGE OF BEING by ROBERT HASS SEAWATER STIFFENS CLOTH by JANE HIRSHFIELD SAYING YES TO LIVING by DAVID IGNATOW THE WORLD IS SO DIFFICULT TO GIVE UP by DAVID IGNATOW A CAROL by LEWIS MORRIS (1833-1907) |
