SEA-PICTURES; FAR NIENTE, by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON Poet's Biography First Line: Soft languors on the bosom of the deep Last Line: Between the day and me, and end it all. Subject(s): Hope; Memory; Sea; Sun; Optimism; Ocean | |||
SOFT languors on the bosom of the deep, A blissful swoon that takes the sense in thrall; My hopes are dead, my memory is asleep, I only lie and watch the waters fall And lift, and let my tired spirit steep In sun and sea, as happy as a hound That lazes on a plot of grassy ground; Until the dim night shadows come and creep Between the day and me, and end it all. | 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 BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
