My heart that was so careless and so proud
No sorrow might find place in it to rest,
Has passed amid the sobbing, changing crowd
Of dreams that fade and die in the dim west.
No music joyous and no songs' delight
Awakens the dim silence of the sea
That drops beyond the farthest edge of night,
And circles in an endless reverie.
I am busy working to bring Alice Corbin's "World's End" 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 Alice Corbin's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "World's End" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
