Cold, sharp lamentation In the cold bitter winds Ever blowing across the sky; Oh, there was loneliness with me! The loud sounding of the waves Beating against the shore, Their vast, rough, heavy outcry, Oh, there was loneliness with me! The light sea-gulls in the air, Crying sharply through the harbours, The cries and screams of the birds With my own heart! Oh! That was loneliness. The voice of the winds and the tide, And the long battle of the mighty war; The sea, the earth, the skies, the blowing of the winds, Oh! There was loneliness in all of them together. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HE MEDIATES ON THE LIFE OF A RICH MAN by DOUGLAS HYDE ADDRESS OF DEATH TO TOMAS DE ROISTE by DOUGLAS HYDE NELLY OF THE TOP-KNOTS by DOUGLAS HYDE STAR OF MY SIGHT by DOUGLAS HYDE FAREWELL TO FARGO: SELLING THE HOUSE by KAREN SWENSON TO MARK ANTHONY IN HEAVEN by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS |
