WEBS, by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN Poet's Biography First Line: Oh, they spread out their silver webs Last Line: And cannot slip away? Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares | ||||||||
OH, they spread out their silver webs Upon the moonlit grass, Their wee bright webs of faerie, To catch the Dreams that pass. The wistful dream that stole from me and crept away to you, They tangled it in glistering knots Of witchery and dew. And whisht! Your bashful little thought, So innocent and bright, Got trapped in that same silver web And kept with mine all night. Then ah! Whatever shall we do Upon to-morrow day, Our dreams are snared together so And cannot slip away? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS A CHARM SAID UNDER AN OAK by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN |
