THERE'S A SALT WIND ROAMING, by GWENDOLYN WESCOTT First Line: There's a salt wind roaming the prairie grass Last Line: Who live in me again. Subject(s): Sea; Wind; Ocean | ||||||||
There's a salt wind roaming the prairie grass, Blowing the fields of corn, A fishy wind from a water front -- God knows where the thing was born, Or how it comes to a meadow land A thousand miles from the sea -- But the salt wind bends the prairie grass And tugs at the heart of me. From somewhere back there in the yesteryears When waves welled over the plain, The ghost of a wind Calls to men of ships Who live in me again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS TO FALSTAFF by GWENDOLYN WESCOTT |
