MANY A NIGHT, by RICHARD DEHMEL First Line: When the night on fields is sinking Last Line: Now I stop all overpowered. | |||
When the night on fields is sinking, Then my eyes can see more brightly: Now my star begins its blinking, Crickets' whispers grow more sprightly. Every sound becomes more glowing, Things accustomed now seem queerer; Paler too the skies are growing Near the woods, the tree tops clearer. Meditating, never heeding How the myriad lights are showered Out of darkness, on I'm speeding-- Now I stop all overpowered. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FROM ON OPPRESSED HEART by RICHARD DEHMEL HARVEST SONG by RICHARD DEHMEL MOUNTAIN PSALM by RICHARD DEHMEL SONG BEFORE NIGHT by RICHARD DEHMEL SONG FOR ALL by RICHARD DEHMEL SONG TO MY SON by RICHARD DEHMEL THE BIG MERRY-GO-ROUND (A SONG FOR A CHILD) by RICHARD DEHMEL THE GOLDFINCH by RICHARD DEHMEL |
