Never have I journeyed Past the level, green Circle of the prairie, Yet have seen: Lofty mountain ranges Robed in virgin snow, Roseate in sunset's Crimson glow; Cities, tiered with gieaming Mosques and minarets, Poised beyond celestial Parapets; Alabaster temples, Roofed and domed with pearl, Wreathed by incense rising Curl on curl; Fathomless abysses; Caverns black as night; Monstrous crags upreared to Heaven's height; Shining seas whose gleaming, Lacquered billows rolled Black and flame and blazing Beaten gold. Sumptuous ever-changing Scenes delight the eye Which explores that wondrous Realm, the sky. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RICHARD, WHAT'S THAT NOISE? by RICHARD HOWARD LOOKING FOR THE GULF MOTEL by RICHARD BLANCO RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
