HILL TIDES, by FRANCES STOCKWELL LOVELL First Line: These rolling billows of the hills Last Line: And wash it golden clean for me. Subject(s): Mountains; Summer; Tides; Hills; Downs (great Britain) | ||||||||
These rolling billows of the hills that have, all summer, swept their green and fluid crests, laced bright with rills and strung with thrush's song, down to the clean wide sweep of pasture here, hold now the scintillating rainbow fire that sun makes, striking through the bow against the western sky. Now higher than their rocky shore they flash into the autumn sky and sheen with long bright rollers in a splash of chrysolite and tourmaline. These surging waves of hillside fire strike cardinal, mahogany; they sweep down to my pasture byre and wash it golden clean for me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE CONTRA MORTEM: THE MOUNTAIN FASTNESS by HAYDEN CARRUTH GREEN MOUNTAIN IDYL by HAYDEN CARRUTH IF IT WERE NOT FOR YOU by HAYDEN CARRUTH ETERNITY by FRANCES STOCKWELL LOVELL |
