THE DREAMER, by CLIFFORD BAX Poet's Biography First Line: Under a bridge of stone the river shuddered by Last Line: Time and the universe were idly eddying on. Subject(s): God | ||||||||
UNDER a bridge of stone the river shuddered by. Grey were the Wiltshire fields, and grey the rushing sky. And while I stood in thought the wind of vision came. It blew the whole wild world out like a candle-flame. I saw God gazing down like someone lost in dream. Motionlessly he watched an ever-moving stream. Under a bridge of stone, the bridge he leaned upon, Time and the universe were idly eddying on. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE SILENT SHEPHERDS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
