WHO'S THAT?, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Who's that? Who's that? Last Line: And choke, 'lead on!' Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter | |||
Who's that? Who's that?. . . Oh, only a leaf on the stone; And the sigh of the air in the fire. Yet it seemed, as I sat, Came company -- not my own; Stood there, with ardent gaze over dark, bowed shoulder thrown, Till the dwindling flames leaped higher, And showed fantasy flown. Yet, though the cheat is clear -- From transient illusion grown; In the vague of my mind those eyes Still haunt me. One stands so near I could take his hand, and be gone: -- No more in this house of dreams to sojourn aloof, alone: Could sigh, with full heart, and arise, And choke, 'Lead on!' | 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 |
