SUBMERGENCE, by HAZEL HALL Poet's Biography First Line: The only loneliness is the wind's Last Line: And the sea must hush an eternal cry. Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness | |||
The only loneliness is the wind's, The only sorrow is the sea's. Why must a heart ache all life long To learn such simple truths as these? Lonely hours burn out like candles, And sorrow is a leaf swept by; But the wind is lonely forever and forever, And the sea must hush an eternal cry. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN ABEYANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV IN A VACANT HOUSE by PHILIP LEVINE SUNDAY ALONE IN A FIFTH FLOOR APARTMENT, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS SILENCE LIKE COOL SAND by PAT MORA THE HONEY BEAR by EILEEN MYLES |
