Sickle moon and smouldering star Beauty burning in the west, Where is he that I loved best? Beauty burning in the west, Lo, an iron ache called War Gathers him to her stark breast. Sickle moon and smouldering star All the soul hath she possessed Of the love that I loved best. Like a King he takes his rest, Past all loves and dreams that are Sickle moon and smouldering star, Beauty burning in the west. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN FEBRUARY EVENING IN NEW YORK by DENISE LEVERTOV THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON NINETEEN FORTY by NORMAN DUBIE |
