Why is the title of the poem ironic?
a) there is very little singing in the poem.
b) the poem takes on a dream-like quality suggested by the title and enhanced by the imagery.
c) the title implies that the sea is gentle and soothing, but it is depicted as ruthless and cruel.
d) the poet uses figurative devices, such as similes and personification, to create sensory images.
sea lullaby
elinor wylie
the old moon is tarnished
with smoke of the flood,
the dead leaves are varnished
with color like blood,
a treacherous smiler 5
with teeth white as milk,
a savage beguiler
in sheathings of silk,
the sea creeps to pillage,
she leaps on her prey; 10
a child of the village
was murdered to-day.
she came up to meet him
in a smooth golden cloak,
she choked him and beat him 15
to death, for a joke.
her bright locks were tangled,
she shouted for joy,
with one hand she strangled
a strong little boy. 20
now in silence she lingers
beside him all night
to wash her long fingers
in silvery light.
