The boding Owl, that in despair Doth moan and shiver on warm nights -- Shall that bird prophesy for me The fall of Heaven's eternal lights? When in the thistled field of Age I take my final walk on earth, Still will I make that Owl's despair A thing to fill my heart with mirth. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ORATION: HALF-MOON IN VERMONT by NORMAN DUBIE LOVE AMID OWL-CRIES by JANE HIRSHFIELD THE OWL'S BEDTIME STORY by RANDALL JARRELL OWL AGAINST ROBIN by SIDNEY LANIER FACADE: 21.
