LYRIC AND EPIC, by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON Poet's Biography First Line: A little lyric the sunset gleamed Last Line: An elemental clash and cry. Subject(s): Life; Love; Wind; Memorial Day | ||||||||
A LITTLE lyric the sunset gleamed At eve, a heart-song warm with love, Light-drenched gold, and a pink that dreamed; Shot with life and the sweet thereof, Yet inly, deeply calm it seemed. At morn an epic filled the eye, Moving grand with a hero's gait; Rain that raged in a wide, gray sky, Winds that moaned disconsolate, An elemental clash and cry. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DAY OF THE DEAD SOLDIERS; MARY 30, 1869 by EMMA LAZARUS MEMORIAL DAY by JOSEPHINE MILES MEMORIAL DAY FOR THE WAR DEAD by YEHUDA AMICHAI MEMORIAL DAY by MICHAEL ANANIA AN ODE ON THE UNVEILING OF THE SHAW MEMORIA BOSTON COMMON, MAY 31, 1897 by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH FREDERICKSBURG by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE DEATH OF GRANT by AMBROSE BIERCE MEMORIAL DAY by WILLIAM E.
