TIDAL BASIN AT TWILIGHT, by MARY B. OWEN First Line: Over the waves the sea gulls wheeling Last Line: Come to me soon -- come soon. Subject(s): Evening; Sea Gulls; Shrines; Sunset; Twilight | |||
Over the waves the sea gulls wheeling, Over the land the shadows stealing; Low in the sky, cold, unrevealing, Rides the pale crescent moon. Ever to you my thoughts are turning, Always for you my heart is yearning, And at your shrine a flame is burning; Come to me soon -- come soon. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN FEBRUARY EVENING IN NEW YORK by DENISE LEVERTOV THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON NINETEEN FORTY by NORMAN DUBIE THE DARK HOUSE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON COUNTRY SCHOOLROOM, ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS by LOUIS UNTERMEYER |
