DAWN, by RICHARD ALDINGTON Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The grim dawn lightens thin bleak clouds | |||
The grim dawn lightens thin bleak clouds; In the hill-clefts beyond the flooded meadows Lies death-pale, death-still mist. We trudge along wearily, Heavy with lack of sleep, Spiritless, yet with pretence of gaiety. The sun brings crimson to the colourless sky; Light shines from brass and steel- We trudge on wearily- O God, end this bleak anguish Soon, soon, with vivid crimson death, End it in mist-pale sleep! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM by RICHARD ALDINGTON IN THE TRENCHES by RICHARD ALDINGTON VICARIOUS ATONEMENT by RICHARD ALDINGTON IMAGES: 1 by RICHARD ALDINGTON IMAGES: 2 by RICHARD ALDINGTON IMAGES: 3 by RICHARD ALDINGTON IMAGES: 4 by RICHARD ALDINGTON IMAGES: 5 by RICHARD ALDINGTON IMAGES: 6 by RICHARD ALDINGTON |
