MOONRISE AT SEA by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH

Poet Analysis

First Line: UP FROM THE DARK THE MOON BEGINS TO CREEP
Last Line: A DROWNED BODY RISES SOLEMNLY.
Subject(s): MOON;
UP from the dark the moon begins to creep;
And now a pallid, haggard face lifts she
Above the water-line: thus from the deep
A drowned body rises solemnly.
