OUT OF THE SILENCE OF MY DREAMS, by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE Poet's Biography First Line: I hear a voice that speaks to me Last Line: Unto his heart and hand. Subject(s): Dreams; God; Nightmares | |||
I HEAR a voice that speaks to me Out of the silence of my dreams; Somewhere from long eternity Where the first white dawn gleams. Night and the stars, day and the sun, Winds and the trumpets of mid-seas, All in one common key they run Through deathless melodies. Take this, my answer for all time -- Yea, to his speech, to his command: Surrendering all life of mine Unto his heart and hand. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SCINTILLA by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE |
