ODE: SADNESS, by CONFUCIUS First Line: The sun is ever full and bright Last Line: O sun, to thee. Alternate Author Name(s): Chung-ni; K'ung Ch'iu | |||
The sun is ever full and bright, The pale moon waneth night by night. Why should this be? My heart that once was full of light Is but a dying moon to-night. But when I dream of thee apart, I would the dawn might lift my heart, O sun, to thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE: TRYSTING TIME by CONFUCIUS VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN TEARS IN SLEEP by LOUISE BOGAN ON THE RHINE by WILLIAM LISLE BOWLES LITTLE BROWN BABY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR TO AMARANTHA, THAT SHE WOULD DISHEVEL HER HAIR by RICHARD LOVELACE A SUMMER NIGHT by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL |
