ODE: SADNESS, by CONFUCIUS First Line: The sun is ever full and bright Last Line: O sun, to thee. Alternate Author Name(s): Chung-ni; K'ung Ch'iu | |||
The sun is ever full and bright, The pale moon waneth night by night. Why should this be? My heart that once was full of light Is but a dying moon to-night. But when I dream of thee apart, I would the dawn might lift my heart, O sun, to thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE: TRYSTING TIME by CONFUCIUS THE SWORD AND THE SICKLE by WILLIAM BLAKE MONNA INNOMINATA, A SONNET OF SONNETS: 1 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI INDEPENDENCE DAY by ROYALL TYLER FROM A TRENCH by MAUD ANNA BELL HOMESICKNESS by HENRY BELLAMANN |
