IN THE NIGHT, by JAMES STEPHENS Poet's Biography First Line: There always is a noise when it is dark Last Line: My heart asunder! Subject(s): Fear; Night; Bedtime | ||||||||
There always is a noise when it is dark! It is the noise of silence, and the noise Of blindness! The noise of silence, and the noise of blindness Do frighten me! They hold me stark and rigid as a tree! These frighten me! These hold me stark and rigid as a tree! Because at last their tumult is more loud Than thunder! Because Their tumult is more loud than thunder, They terrify my soul! They tear My heart asunder! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN |
