CLAIR DE LUNE, by CLAUDE HOUGHTON Poet's Biography First Line: Pallid ghosts and phantoms frail Last Line: Vanish slowly, glimmering whitely. Subject(s): Ghosts; Supernatural | |||
PALLID ghosts and phantoms frail, Fancies born of vague regrets, 'Neath a moon divinely pale Whisper words the dawn forgets; Ghosts of pain and ghosts of pleasure Glide in graceful rhythmic measure. Vanished days and dead desires, Perished hopes and faded dreams, To the magic sound of lyres Glide amid the moon's gray beams; Glide and beckon, whisper lightly, Vanish slowly, glimmering whitely. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON THE MOTHS: 1.
