EVENING IN FEBRUARY, by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE Poet's Biography First Line: The windy evening drops a grey Last Line: Before the fall of babylon. Subject(s): February | ||||||||
THE windy evening drops a grey Old eyelid down across the sun, The last crow leaves the ploughman's way, And happy lambs make no more fun. Wild parsley buds beside my feet, A doubtful thrush makes hurried tune, The steeple in the village street Doth seem to pierce the twilight moon. I hear and see those changing charms, For all -- my thoughts are fixed upon The hurry and the loud alarms Before the fall of Babylon. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A GLEE FOR FEBRUARY by LOUIS UNTERMEYER MIRROR IN FEBRUARY by THOMAS KINSELLA THE SHEPHEARDES CALENDER: FEBRUARY by EDMUND SPENSER A WARM DAY IN WINTER by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR FEBRUARY MORNING by JOHN FREEMAN FEBRUARY NOCTURNE by RUTH GUTHRIE HARDING FEBRUARY SWANS by JAMES HARRISON THE POET'S CALENDAR: FEBRUARY by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW TO A CROW IN FEBRUARY by CAROLINE M.
