What can we expect from an empty shell Where many hearts of pearl once beat to dwell Waves fail to break hard layer's bond of love Wailing shore sends memoir to the sky above

About This Quote

In the poem, “Wailing Shore,” by Paul Laurence Dunbar, he describes a person who has been abandoned by their true love. The person describes the tragedy of losing a loved one and how they feel a sense of emptiness without their loved one. The waves symbolize the loss of the person and the waves try to break away from the shore but can't. The person is stuck inside their shell and there is no escape from the feelings of loss and sadness.
