NIGHT AND WIND, by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The night is light and chill Last Line: And the wind is the voice of my heart. Subject(s): Sleep; Wind | ||||||||
The night is light and chill, Stars are awake in the sky, There's a clound over the moon; Round the house on the hill The wind creeps with its cry Between a wail and a croon. I hear the voice of the wind, The voice of the wind in the night, Cry and sob and weep, As the voice of one that hath sinned Moaning aloud in its might In the night when he cannot sleep. Sleep? No sleep is about. What remembering sin Wakes and watches apart? The wind wails without, And my heart is wailing within, And the wind is the voice of my heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE WIND by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN LEAF LITTER ON ROCK FACE by HEATHER MCHUGH RESIDENTIAL AREA by JOSEPHINE MILES THE DAY THE WINDS by JOSEPHINE MILES VARIATIONS: 12 by CONRAD AIKEN OH IT'S PRETTY WINDY OUTSIDE by LARRY EIGNER NERVES by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS |
