Ah! wild-hearted wand'rer far in the world away Restless nor knowest why only thou canst not stay And now turnest trembling hearing the wind to sigh: 'Twas thy lover calling whom thou didst leave forby. So faint and yet so far so far and yet so fain -- 'Return belov'd to me' but thou must onward strain: Thy trembling is in vain as thy wand'ring shall be. What so well thou lovest thou nevermore shalt see. | 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 A PASSER-BY by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES |
