TO MY POET, by GLADYS CROMWELL Poet's Biography First Line: Dear poet of the swift imperial ways Last Line: I gather from thy plenitude of song. Subject(s): Poetry & Poets | |||
DEAR Poet of the swift imperial ways, The overtones of thy melodious showers Are mine, and shadows of thy leaning flowers; My thoughts are emulous of thy thought sprays. Thou art the shepherd of my humble days. The faint subsiding impulse of thy powers Reverberates and stirs my silent hours; My partial words are thy remembered lays. When Jesus gave the loaves to the meek throng, They fared, and there were basketsful besides -- The fragments fallen from his grace benign, Abundant -- since, dear Poet, love divides, A portion of thy opulence is mine, I gather from thy plenitude of song. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
