VOICES ON THE WIND, by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER Poet's Biography First Line: Wind and the whirling of white mists Last Line: Shoreward, yet holds my soul and keeps it from gaining sleep. Subject(s): Wind | |||
Wind and the whirling of white mists Through the desolate night. And there are voices on the wind: Roaring horns, hoarse cries of battle! The dark wind, Endlessly whirling the white mists. The pale mists Wavering, unsteady, break before dawn: They hurriedly vanish. The low talk, the sombre yells of despair, These are lost on the long wind: But the jarring thunder of sea-chariots racing Shoreward, yet holds my soul and keeps it from gaining sleep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE WIND by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN LEAF LITTER ON ROCK FACE by HEATHER MCHUGH RESIDENTIAL AREA by JOSEPHINE MILES THE DAY THE WINDS by JOSEPHINE MILES VARIATIONS: 12 by CONRAD AIKEN OH IT'S PRETTY WINDY OUTSIDE by LARRY EIGNER ARIZONA POEMS: 2.
