THE WILD DOVES, by GEORGES BOUTELLEAU First Line: Over gray skies or shining Last Line: Our haven of desire. Alternate Author Name(s): Cognac Merchant; Novelist Subject(s): Doves | ||||||||
OVER gray skies or shining, Skimming the tall palm-groves, Where rose-tipt briars are twining, Go by the wild gray doves. Wide-winged for ever wending If suns rise up or fall, They follow the unending Far glory of them all. From every sky imploring In torrid climes or chill, New summits beyond soaring And newer seasons still. Thus year by year we wander, Wild doves that never tire, To find for ever yonder Our haven of desire. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LETTING THE DOVES OUT by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER THE DOVE'S NECK by GERALD STERN THE DOVE IN SPRING by WALLACE STEVENS WHAT THE DOVE SINGS by CAROL FROST THE DOVE by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE PHOENIX AND THE TURTLE by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE THE AVENUE by GEORGES BOUTELLEAU MAKING THE BED by KAREN SWENSON ODE ON THE POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS OF THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) |
