ALONE, by SAROJINI NAIDU Poet's Biography First Line: Alone, o love, I seek the blossoming glades Last Line: Shall I attain the sanctuary of thy face? Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness | |||
ALONE, O Love, I seek the blossoming glades, The bright, accustomed alleys of delight, Pomegranate-gardens of the mellowing dawn, Serene and sumptuous orchards of the night. Alone, O Love, I breast the shimmering waves, The changing tides of life's familiar streams, Wide seas of hope, swift rivers of desire, The moon-enchanted estuary of dreams. But no compassionate wind or comforting star Brings me sweet word of thine abiding place ... In what predestined hour of joy or tears Shall I attain the sanctuary of thy face? | 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 A CHALLENGE TO FATE by SAROJINI NAIDU |
