THE BELL-BRANCH, by JAMES HENRY COUSINS First Line: Shoheen, sho-lo: birds are homeward winging Last Line: And the streams of quiet flow.' | ||||||||
SHOHEEN, sho-lo: Birds are homeward winging. Shoheen, sho-lo: Herdsmen on the hills are singing: 'Short the night, and long the day, Come, ye weary flocks away: Folded in deep shadows drowse, And on long sweet grasses browse Where the murmuring waters flow.' Shoheen, sho-lo: Hark, the Bell-branch ringing. Shoheen, sho-lo: Danaans from the hills are singing: 'Time is old, and earth is grey -- Come, ye weary ones, away, Where, with white, untroubled brows The Immortals dream and drowse, And the streams of quiet flow.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE AWAKENING by JAMES HENRY COUSINS THE COMING OF NIAMH by JAMES HENRY COUSINS THE WINGS OF LOVE by JAMES HENRY COUSINS ON VIOLET'S WAFERS, SENT ME WHEN I WAS ILL by SIDNEY LANIER THE HAYSTACK IN THE FLOODS by WILLIAM MORRIS (1834-1896) IMITATIONS OF HORACE: ODE IV, 1 by ALEXANDER POPE THE HOUSE OF LIFE: 47.
