CARE, by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD First Line: All in the leafy darkness, when sleep had passed me by Last Line: And while the whole world slept. | |||
ALL in the leafy darkness, when sleep had passed me by, I knew the surging of the sea -- Though never wave were nigh. All in the leafy darkness, unbroken by a star, There came the clamorous call of day, While yet the day was far. All in the leafy darkness, woven with hushes deep, I heard the vulture wings of Fear Above me tireless sweep; The sea of Doubt, the dread of day, upon me surged and swept All in the leafy darkness, And while the whole world slept. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PENELOPE'S CHRISTMAS DANCE by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD THE MOTHER'S SONG by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD UNITY by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD YOUTH by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD CHAMBER MUSIC: 14 by JAMES JOYCE SANTA FE SKETCHES by CARL SANDBURG WINDFLOWER LEAF by CARL SANDBURG THE WINE OF NIGHT by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THE DEATH OF HAMPDEN by PAKENHAM THOMAS BEATTY THE IMPROVISATORE: LEOPOLD by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES |
