SPRING TWILIGHT (TO K.W.) by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE TWILIGHT DROOPS ACROSS THE DAY
Last Line: A SWEET SUSPENSION OF DELIGHT.

The twilight droops across the day,
I watch her portrait on the wall
Palely recede into the grey
That palely comes and covers all.

The sad Spring twilight, dull, forlorn,
The menace of the dreary night;
But in her face, more fair than morn,
A sweet suspension of delight.
