ALL the night and all the day, In the desert I do stray, Through the wind and through the snow, In the darkness I must go. When the winter days are done, Fainting in the summer sun, On the treeless plains I stray, Through the night and through the day. From your heart which is my home, Sad and outcast I do roam, Lost beneath an alien sky, While the suns and moons go by. Deep the pain that does not end, Sharp the cry that I do send, From the desert where I roam, Sad and outcast from my home. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VIGNETTES OVERSEAS: 1.
