NEWPORT BEACH, by HENRY THEODORE TUCKERMAN Poet's Biography First Line: Wave after wave successively rolls on Last Line: In one o'erwhelming surge! Subject(s): Newport, Rhode Island | |||
WAVE after wave successively rolls on And dies along the shore, until more loud One billow with concentrate force is heard To swell prophetic, and exultant rears A lucent form above its pioneers, And rushes past them to the farthest goal. Thus our unuttered feelings rise and fall, And thought will follow thought in equal waves, Until reflection nerves design to will, Or sentiment o'er chance emotion reigns, And all its wayward undulations blend In one o'erwhelming surge! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A NEWPORT ROMANCE by FRANCIS BRET HARTE THE JEWISH CEMETERY AT NEWPORT by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE SKELETON IN ARMOR by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE NEWPORT TOWER by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD THE CLIFFS AT NEWPORT by RUTH DANA BEAUTIFUL NEWPORT ON THE BRAES O' THE SILVERY TAY by WILLIAM MCGONAGALL THE WAVES AT MIDNIGHT; THE CLIFFS, NEWPORT by SILAS WEIR MITCHELL THE ROMANCE OF A ROSE by NORA PERRY NORTHAMPTON by HENRY THEODORE TUCKERMAN |
