LOVERS, by JAMES STEPHENS Poet's Biography First Line: The moon is shining on the sea! Last Line: Poor, unhappy, little sea. Subject(s): Love | |||
The moon is shining on the sea! Every night the moon looks down Through the spaces, quietly: And, no matter though I be Among the houses of the town, Something always says to me, -- The moon is shining on the sea -- Along the boulevard I pace, Looking for her through the trees, And I see her gentle face Beaming through immensities: And, as I look, there comes to me The lonely murmur of the sea. All across all that is space They are telling their distress; They are looking, face to face, All longing, and all loneliness; The pretty, timid, moon, and the Poor, unhappy, little sea. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
