CARE, by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD First Line: All in the leafy darkness, when sleep had passed me by Last Line: And while the whole world slept. | |||
ALL in the leafy darkness, when sleep had passed me by, I knew the surging of the sea -- Though never wave were nigh. All in the leafy darkness, unbroken by a star, There came the clamorous call of day, While yet the day was far. All in the leafy darkness, woven with hushes deep, I heard the vulture wings of Fear Above me tireless sweep; The sea of Doubt, the dread of day, upon me surged and swept All in the leafy darkness, And while the whole world slept. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PENELOPE'S CHRISTMAS DANCE by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD THE MOTHER'S SONG by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD UNITY by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD YOUTH by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD SONG BY THE WINDOW BEFORE BED by KATHERINE MANSFIELD A LECTURE UPON THE SHADOW by JOHN DONNE LINCOLN by NICHOLAS VACHEL LINDSAY ANTONIO by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS FELDMESTEN OR MEASURING THE GRAVES by ALTER ABELSON EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 36.
