JUNE NIGHTS, by VICTOR MARIE HUGO Poet's Biography First Line: In summer, when the day is gone Last Line: Dawn waits its hour. Subject(s): June; Night; Summer; Bedtime | ||||||||
In summer, when the day is gone, Flowers' rich scent is wafted near; The eyes are shut, but lightly sleep comes on; Sounds reach the ear. The stars are pure, and space is deeper; Night feels a glow, the long day's dower. In the sky's depth, and hovering o'er the sleeper, Dawn waits its hour. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN A COUP D'ETAT; AN INCIDENT IN THE NIGHT OF DECEMBER 4, 1851 by VICTOR MARIE HUGO |
