A STORM SONG, by WILLIAM WILKINS First Line: Toss, tight boat, by the foam covered bar Last Line: Break, and be broken. -- my love is mine. | |||
TOSS, tight boat, by the foam covered bar; Dip deep down in the jaws of the brine. Fly, dark rack, across moon and star, Fly, and fly past. -- My love is mine. Storm-stricken cedars, reel on the height; Hurled back, shudder, and pitch to the wind. Swept by the beam of the moon's pale light, Lash, and loom grandly. -- My love is kind. Burst, O sea, on the sands of the shore! Scream aloud. Fling up your wild arms white. Grovel, and shriek to the strong wind's roar; Peal up your cry through the pitiless night. Blow, vast gale, over field and bay; Over holt and hill whirl the rain and brine. Ruin and wreck till returns the day; Break, and be broken. -- My love is mine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN THE ENGINE-SHED by WILLIAM WILKINS THE IMPASSABLE by WILLIAM WILKINS SENRYU: BLIND DATE by TIMOTHY LIU SIXTEEN DEAD MEN by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 71 by PHILIP SIDNEY SONNET: 1 by CHARLES HAMILTON SORLEY UNDERWOODS: BOOK 1: 5.
