THE SHADOW, by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Soft as the bed in the earth Last Line: Brings dark to my eyes. | |||
Soft as the bed in the earth where a stone has lain -- so soft, so smooth and so cool Spring closes me in with her arms and her hands. Rich as the smell of new earth on a stone that has lain breathing the damp through its pores -- Spring closes me in with her blossomy hair brings dark to my eyes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CORONAL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS A GOODNIGHT by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS A MAN TO A WOMAN by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS APPROACH OF WINTER by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS APRIL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS BLIZZARD by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS BLUEFLAGS by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS COMPLAINT by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS DAISY by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS DAYBREAK by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS |
