EDGE OF THE WORLD, by BERNICE LESBIA KENYON Poet's Biography First Line: There is the hill of grass Last Line: And touch infinity! Alternate Author Name(s): Gilkyson, Walter, Mrs. Subject(s): Poetry & Poets | |||
THERE is the hill of grass, And beyond it, only the sky; Clouds or birds might pass, But never you and I. Deep grass, and clover, and air Full of sun; and a place Beyond,—and nothing there But the world's edge, and Space. There is no way to go Since you and I lack wings And won't turn back... Let us know What lies at the end of things— Come wade through the warmed clover To the edge; and before we see And fear it, put our fingers over And touch Infinity! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
