AFTER THE DAZZLE OF DAY IS GONE by WALT WHITMAN

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Silent, athwart my soul, moves the symphony true
Subject(s): NIGHT;

After the dazzle of day is gone,
Only the dark, dark night shows to my eyes the stars;
After the clangor of organ majestic, or chorus, or perfect band,
Silent, athwart my soul, moves the symphony true.
