OLTON POOLS (TO G. C. G.), by JOHN DRINKWATER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Now june walks on the waters Last Line: Hist . . . Over olton pools! | ||||||||
Now June walks on the waters, And the cuckoo's last enchantment Passes from Olton pools. Now dawn comes to my window Breathing midsummer roses, And scythes are wet with dew. Is it not strange for ever That, bowered in this wonder, Man keeps a jealous heart? . . . That June and the June waters, And birds and dawn-lit roses, Are gospels in the wind, Fading upon the deserts, Poor pilgrim revelations? . . .
