AGE AND CHILDHOOD, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: She stooped with serious eyes Last Line: Summoning me. Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter | |||
She stooped with serious eyes Where peace in shadow lay, Searched in my frightened eyes, and smiled All fear away; Pierced to my heart -- my heart, All language else forgot, Caught all the secrets love to love Refuses not; Trembling, and dim, and weak, Took my cold, idle hand That yearned, yet trembled to receive Her mute command. Out of the dusk a bird -- A leaf from the tossing tree -- Eyes in a fading mist of age Summoning me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ARABIA by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BUNCHES OF GRAPES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ECHO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ENGLAND (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FARE WELL by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FIVE EYES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
