AT THE YEAR'S END, by JOHN BANISTER TABB Poet's Biography First Line: Night dreams of day, and winter seems Last Line: Shall vanish when our own are true. Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb Subject(s): Holidays; New Year | ||||||||
NIGHT dreams of day, and winter seems In sleep to breathe the balm of May. Their dreams are true anon; but they, The dreamers, then, alas, are dreams. Thus, while our days the dreams renew Of some forgotten sleeper, we, The dreamers of futurity, Shall vanish when our own are true. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NEW YEAR'S POEM by MARGARET AVISON A SPEED OF HISTORY by MARGARET AVISON NEW YEAR'S DAY by DAVID LEHMAN LINES FOR THE NEW YEAR by JULIE CARR I AM RUNNING INTO A NEW YEAR by LUCILLE CLIFTON FOR THE NEW YEAR (2) by ROBERT CREELEY ANONYMOUS by JOHN BANISTER TABB |
