THE WANDERER, by ZOE AKINS First Line: The ships are lying in the bay Last Line: In one small grave to lie. Subject(s): Graves; Wandering & Wanderers; Tombs; Tombstones; Wanderlust; Vagabonds; Tramps; Hoboes | ||||||||
The ships are lying in the bay, The gulls are swinging round their spars; My soul as eagerly as they Desires the margin of the stars. So much do I love wandering, So much I love the sea and sky, That it will be a piteous thing In one small grave to lie. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BUMS, ON WAKING by JAMES DICKEY A FOLK SINGER OF THE THIRTIES by JAMES DICKEY WANDERER IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY by CLARENCE MAJOR THE WANDERER by WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN LONG GONE by STERLING ALLEN BROWN BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON A VAGABOND SONG by BLISS CARMAN VILLANELLE OF CITY AND COUNTRY by ZOE AKINS |
