To dream -- and so to watch the wan moon glimmer Along, across, and down the throbbing sky To drown beneath a sea where strange lights shimmer And old forgotten things awake and cry. To dream -- and thus to feel the moments turning Their instant paths along the surging flood That beats and fills the body with its burning, The dark remembered madness of the blood. To dream -- and so to feel the moon and madness Kaleidoscope across the sunken brain -- To find no lone oasis bright with gladness, But only waste and molten sky and pain! | 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 SEED by THEODORE ANTHONY STANFORD |
