SONNET: 18. AN EVENING IN NOVEMBER, WHICH HAD BEEN STORMY ..., by ANNA SEWARD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Ceas'd is the rain; but heavy drops yet fall Last Line: The vale's blue rills, and glitter as they flow! Alternate Author Name(s): Seward, Nancy Subject(s): Storms; Weather | ||||||||
Ceas'd is the rain; but heavy drops yet fall From the drench'd roof;yet murmurs the sunk wind Round the dim hills; can yet a passage find Whistling thro' yon cleft rock, and ruin'd wall. Loud roar the angry torrents, and appal Tho' distant.A few stars, emerging kind, With green rays tremble thro' their misty shrouds; And the moon gleams between the sailing clouds On half the darken'd hill.Now blasts remove The shadowing clouds, and on the mountain's brow, Full-orb'd she shines. Half sunk within its cove Heaves the lone boat, with gulphing sound:and lo! Bright rolls the settling lake, and brimming rove The vale's blue rills, and glitter as they flow! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD HOW TO FORETELL A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER by TED KOOSER LEAVING BUFFALO by CHARLES MARTIN WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES TO WARM, THE BOYS DRIVE SHIRTLESS by MARY JO BANG THE LIFE OF TOWNS: ONE-MAN TOWN by ANNE CARSON POWER FAILURE by MADELINE DEFREES THE CITY OF THE OLESHA FRUIT by NORMAN DUBIE FRAGMENTS WRITTEN WHILE TRAVELING...A MIDWESTERN HEAT WAVE by JAMES GALVIN AN OLD CAT'S DYING SOLILOQUY by ANNA SEWARD ELEGY WRITTEN AT THE SEA-SIDE ..
