THE WINDOW; OR, THE SONG OF THE WRENS: NO ANSWER (1), by ALFRED TENNYSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The mist and the rain, the mist and the rain! Last Line: The wet west wind and the world may go on. Alternate Author Name(s): Tennyson, Lord Alfred; Tennyson, 1st Baron; Tennyson Of Aldworth And Farringford, Baron | |||
The mist and the rain, the mist and the rain! Is it ay or no? is it ay or no? And never a glimpse of her window-pane! And I may die but the grass will grow, And the grass will grow when I am gone, And the wet west wind and the world will go on. Ay is the song of the wedded spheres, No is trouble and cloud and storm, Ay is life for a hundred years, No will push me down to the worm, And when I am there and dead and gone, The wet west wind and the world will go on. The wind and the wet, the wind and the wet! Wet west wind, how you blow, you blow! And never a line from my lady yet! Is it ay or no? is it ay or no? Blow then, blow, and when I am gone, The wet west wind and the world may go on. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A DEDICATION by ALFRED TENNYSON A DREAM OF FAIR WOMEN by ALFRED TENNYSON BREAK, BREAK, BREAK by ALFRED TENNYSON CROSSING THE BAR by ALFRED TENNYSON EDWIN MORRIS; OR, THE LAKE by ALFRED TENNYSON ENGLAND AND AMERICA IN 1782 by ALFRED TENNYSON ENOCH ARDEN by ALFRED TENNYSON |
