A silent sinner, nights and days,
No human heart to him drew nigh,
Alone he wound his wonted ways,
Alone and little loved did die.
And autumn Death for him did choose,
A season dank with mists and rain,
And took him, while the evening dews
Were settling o'er the fields again.
I am busy working to bring J.M. Synge's "A silent sinner" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about J.M. Synge's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "A silent sinner" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
