THE DARK, by ANNETTE WYNNE First Line: The dark's a curtain black and tall Last Line: Covers up the world inside Subject(s): Darkness | ||||||||
THE dark's a curtain black and tall That covers up the trees and all; The dark's a curtain black and wide That covers up the world outside; But in the room the lamp's good light Keeps the darkness out of sight, Until we eat our milk and bread, And play a bit and go to bed; And then the curtain black and tall Covers up the room and all; And then the curtain black and wide Covers up the world inside. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SHADOWS TO-DAY, WHILE SHADOWS SHOW GOD'S WILL by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE FAIRIES DO NOT LIKE THE DARK by ANNETTE WYNNE THE PLEASANT DARK by ANNETTE WYNNE THE LITTLE WINDOW by ANNETTE WYNNE CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS by ANNETTE WYNNE A BUSY STREET by ANNETTE WYNNE A LITTLE CALENDAR by ANNETTE WYNNE A SAILOR BOLD by ANNETTE WYNNE |
