THE UNCONSUMING FIRE, by BETTY PAGE DABNEY First Line: The young leaves spring Last Line: Incorporeal light. Subject(s): Leaves; Spring; Summer | ||||||||
The young leaves spring To the light again Bodiless spirits, Thin as rain, Nothing of earth, Of air entire. Green, as of water, Green, as of fire, Blown like spray From the plumy billow, Jets in the poplar, Streams in the willow. Summer will bring The burdened sheaf, Fruit of copper, Enameled leaf; But for a dazzled hour The sight Kindles at Incorporeal light. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ADVANCE OF SUMMER by MARY KINZIE THE SUMMER IMAGE by LEONIE ADAMS CANOEBIAL BLISS by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY THE END OF SUMMER by HENRY MEADE BLAND THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD SONNET: 14.
