"The Old Voice of the Ocean"

Abe Hyatt

This poem is called 'Natural Music" by Robinson Jeffers. In this poem, Jeffers is depicting the different aspect of a song that feels very sad. I think that he uses 'the old voice of the ocean' as background noise, kind of like the bass-line in a normal song. In this poem, he is using natural elements of the world to create a sad song for us. I think that he does a very good job of using imagery to use natural examples in the world to create a song.
