DISILLUSION, by HELEN HAYS HUTTON First Line: I watched a moon-drenched wave roll in Last Line: And crushed the wings apart. Subject(s): Disillusion | |||
I watched a moon-drenched wave roll in Festooned with silver lace To tear itself in ragged bits Upon a cliff's rough face; I heard the whisper of a wind Breathe through a restless pine, Rise to a roaring ecstasy And die a moaning whine; I held a fragile, gauze-winged dream Imprisoned in my heart Until Life found its hiding place And crushed the wings apart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JAMES LEE'S WIFE by ROBERT BROWNING ST.
