THE CERTAIN KNOT OF PEACE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: So, my proud soul, so you, whose shining force
Last Line: Silenced by sleep.
Subject(s): Sleep


SO, my proud soul, so you, whose shining force
Had galloped with me to eternity,
Stand now, appealing like a tired horse:
Unharness me.

O passionate world! O faces of my friends!
O half-grasped meanings, intricate and deep!—
Sudden, as with a child, the tumult ends,
Silenced by sleep.
