RONDEAU, by ANN RADCLIFFE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Soft as yon silver ray, that sleeps Last Line: So soft, so true, with thee shall rest. Alternate Author Name(s): Ward, Ann Subject(s): Love; Sea; Ocean | ||||||||
Soft as yon silver ray, that sleeps Upon the ocean's trembling tide; Soft as the air, that lightly sweeps Yon sail, that swells in stately pride: Soft as the surge's stealing note, That dies along the distant shores, Or warbled strain, that sinks remote So soft the sigh my bosom pours! True as the wave to Cynthia's ray, True as the vessel to the breeze, True as the soul to music's sway, Or music to Venetian seas: Soft as yon silver beams, that sleep Upon the ocean's trembling breast; So soft, so true, fond Love shall weep, So soft, so true, with thee shall rest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS A SECOND VIEW OF THE SEVEN MOUNTAINS by ANN RADCLIFFE ON A FIRST VIEW OF THE GROUP CALLED THE SEVEN MOUNTAINS by ANN RADCLIFFE |
