Classic and Contemporary Poetry
LATE SUMMER'S NIGHT, by MIRIAM CASSEL First Line: The cotton clouds float out like / seeds Last Line: With haunting pathos lightly kiss. Subject(s): Hearts; Love | |||
THE cotton clouds float out like seeds From the sky's open milk weed pod; Then late—across the vast grey meads Stretch stars like sprays of golden rod. Then suddenly the harvest moon Arises from the hills and tow'rs, And like a thriftless bee at noon Flits far above the listless flow'rs. Wild asters touch near vagrant path In fragrance of wild clematis; Then like our love's sweet aftermath With haunting pathos lightly kiss. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
