IN THE SHADOWS, by FLORENCE COPLEY WHITE First Line: Last night the wind went singing Last Line: Upon the harp. Subject(s): Grief; Shadows; Sorrow; Sadness | ||||||||
Last night the wind went singing through the starlight And I was glad. It was like music of a thousand harp strings, Who could be sad? Tonight the wind is sweeping through the shadows Savage and sharp. The thousand strings are shattered into fragments Upon the harp. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS AN APRIL DAY by FLORENCE COPLEY WHITE |
