THE POET'S CALENDAR: FEBRUARY, by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I am lustration; and the sea is mine! Last Line: Without a dirge, I cleanse from every stain. Subject(s): February | |||
I am lustration, and the sea is mine. I wash the sands and headlands with my tide; My brow is crowned with branches of the pine; Before my chariot-wheels the fishes glide. By me all things unclean are purified, By me the souls of men washed white again; E'en the unlovely tombs of those who died Without a dirge, I cleanse from every stain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A GLEE FOR FEBRUARY by LOUIS UNTERMEYER MIRROR IN FEBRUARY by THOMAS KINSELLA THE SHEPHEARDES CALENDER: FEBRUARY by EDMUND SPENSER A WARM DAY IN WINTER by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR FEBRUARY MORNING by JOHN FREEMAN FEBRUARY NOCTURNE by RUTH GUTHRIE HARDING FEBRUARY SWANS by JAMES HARRISON EVENING IN FEBRUARY by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE TO A CROW IN FEBRUARY by CAROLINE M.
