THE LARK, by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: A lull in the racket and brattle Last Line: Is drowned in the shattering brattle. Subject(s): World War I; First World War | |||
A lull in the racket and brattle, And a lark soars into the light -- And its song seems the voice of the light Quelling the voices of night And the shattering fury of battle. But again the fury of battle Breaks out, and he drops from the height -- Dead as a stone from the height -- Drops dead, and the voice of the light Is drowned in the shattering brattle. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...D'ANNUNZIO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY 1915: THE TRENCHES by CONRAD AIKEN TO OUR PRESIDENT by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES CHILDREN OF THE WAR by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE U-BOAT CREWS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE RED CROSS NURSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES WAR PROFITS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE UNCHANGEABLE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
