TIDE OF SILENCE, by LUCIA TRENT First Line: I wish for silence beating like a tide Last Line: Or let them fade like unforgotten moons. Alternate Author Name(s): Cheyney, Mrs. Ralph; Glass, Mrs. Ernest Subject(s): Silence | ||||||||
I wish for silence beating like a tide Around this narrow room that fancy shapes, A net of silence, intimate and wide, From which no fluttering moth of dream escapes. Now for one quivering moment I shall peer At swiftly-fettered wings the net maroons Before I let them fashion poems here Or let them fade like unforgotten moons. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SONG OF SILENCE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON TANKA DIARY (9) by HARRYETTE MULLEN 7 A.M., A MAN AND A WOMAN by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR |
