ON THE WEATHER, by FERRIS GREENSLET Poet's Biography First Line: The sultry stillness of a summer's day Last Line: So hot! And all my ducks are in the wash. Subject(s): Summer | ||||||||
THE sultry stillness of a summer's day Oppresses every sense. The droning bees Alone the silence break, and restless play The shadows of the gently swaying trees. The very ripples in the stream are still, Save now and then a low and gentle swash, All which doth try me sore against my will -- So hot! And all my ducks are in the wash. | 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.
