HAZE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Woof of the sun, ethereal gauze
Last Line: Establish thy serenity o'er the fields.
Subject(s): Fog; Haze


Woof of the sun, ethereal gauze,
Woven of Nature's richest stuffs,
Visible heat, air-water, and dry sea,
Last conquest of the eye;
Toil of the day displayed, sun-dust,
Aerial surf upon the shores of the earth,
Ethereal estuary, frith of light,
Breakers of air, billows of heat,
Fine summer spray on inland seas;
Bird of the sun, transparent-winged
Owlet of noon, soft-pinioned,
From hearth or stubble rising without song;
Establish thy serenity o'er the fields.
