SONGS TO A.H.R.: 6. LOVE AND INFINITY, by CALE YOUNG RICE Poet's Biography First Line: Across the kindling twilight moon Last Line: Were you not by! Subject(s): Love; Sea; Stars; Ocean | ||||||||
Across the kindling twilight moon A late gull wings to rest. The sea is murmuring underneath Its vast eternal quest. The coast-light flashes over the tide A red and warning eye, And oh, the world is very wide, But you are nigh! The stars come out from zone to zone, The wind knows every one And blows their message to my heart, As it has ever done. 'They are all God's,' it tells me, 'all, However huge or high.' But ah, I could not trust its call -- Were you not by! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS A CHARM TO BRING CHILDREN (EGYPT, A.D. 100) by CALE YOUNG RICE |
