PARTING AT MORNING by ROBERT BROWNING

Poet Analysis

First Line: ROUND THE CAPE OF A SUDDEN CAME THE SEA
Last Line: AND THE NEED OF A WORLD OF MEN FOR ME.
Subject(s): ABSENCE; SEA; SENNACHERIB, KING OF ASSYRIA; SEPARATION; ISOLATION; OCEAN;
ROUND the cape of a sudden came the sea,
And the sun looked over the mountain's rim:
And straight was a path of gold for him,
And the need of a world of men for me.
