"New Year's Eve" by D.H. Lawrence

 

New Year's Eve


There are only two things now,

The great black night scooped out

And this fireglow.

This fireglow, the core,

And we the two ripe pips

That are held in store.

Listen, the darkness rings

As it circulates round our fire.

Take off your things.

Your shoulders, your bruised throat!

Your breasts, your nakedness!

This fiery coat!

As the darkness flickers and dips,

As the firelight falls and leaps

From your feet to your lips!

 


Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.

Who wrote the poem "New Year's Eve"?


David Herbert Lawrence (September 11, 1885 – March 2, 1930)

D. H. Lawrence was an English novelist, poet, essayist, and playwright. His works dealt with modernity, industrialization, sexuality, and instinct. His novels Sons and LoversThe Rainbow, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover concerned such controversial topics as gay and lesbian relationships. Although, due to his peculiar artistic style, he had to experience persecution and often was disgraced as a mere pornographer, some critics praise him for his artistic talents, integrity, and moral seriousness.



"New Year's Eve" explanation


D. H. Lawrence is more famous for his controversial and unconventional novels such as Lady Chatterley’s Lover. However, he wrote almost 800 poems some of which are regarded by some critics superior to his novels. The poem touches on sexuality, vitality, spontaneity, and animal-like vibrance.
