IMPRESSIONS OF A TRAVELLER, by KAO SHIH First Line: In a silent, desolate spot Last Line: On the wanderer's soul to-night! Alternate Author Name(s): Ta-fu | |||
In a silent, desolate spot, In the night stone-frozen and clear, The wanderer's hand on the sail Is gripped by the fingers of fear. He looketh afar o'er the waves, Wind-ruffled and deep and green; And the mantle of Autumn lies Over wood and hill and ravine. 'Tis Autumn! -- time of decay, And the dead leaves' 'wildering flight; And the mantle of Autumn lies On the wanderer's soul to-night! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HEART OF A WOMAN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON AT THE CEDARS by DUNCAN CAMPBELL SCOTT THE HIGHER PANTHEISM by ALFRED TENNYSON CHANGES by EDWARD ROBERT BULWER-LYTTON GEORGE SAND SAYING by ETHEL TONRY CARPENTER LINES by DAVID HARTLEY COLERIDGE PINDARIC ODE: TO THE UNVERSITY LIBRARY AT OXFORD by ABRAHAM COWLEY |
