IF ON this night of still, white cold, I can remember May, New green of tree and underbrush, A hillside orchard's mounting flush, The scent of earth and noon's blue hush, A robin's jaunty way; If on this night of bitter frost, I know such things can be, That lovely May is trueah, well, I shall believe the tales men tell, Wonders of bliss and asphodel, And immortality. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 4 by MARK JARMAN QUIA ABSURDUM by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS SONNET TO FORTUNE by LUCY AIKEN JONATHAN EDWARDS IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS by ROBERT LOWELL RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION by MINA LOY 800,000 VIBRATIONS TO THE SECOND by HORTENSE KING FLEXNER |
