SNOWFLAKES, by HOMER HIGH CALHOUN First Line: Out of the gray-draped skies they come Last Line: They swirl a pillow for its head. Subject(s): Snow | ||||||||
Out of the gray-draped skies they come, Softly and silently on tip-toe -- Descending slowly lest a sound awake Some fairy dream. They put the yawning dark to bed And tuck around the feet of night A quilt of white, and soundlessly They swirl a pillow for its head. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BRIGHT SUN AFTER HEAVY SNOW by JANE KENYON SNOW FALLING THROUGH FOG by WILLIAM MATTHEWS THE SNOW FAIRY by CLAUDE MCKAY NOT ONLY ESKIMOS by LISEL MUELLER THIS LITTLE WORLD by HOMER HIGH CALHOUN |
