SIGH, by             Poem Explanation         Poet's Biography
First Line: Towards your brow where an autumn dreams
Last Line: In one long lingering ray crawl on.


Towards your brow where an autumn dreams
freckled with russet scatterings,
calm sister, and towards the sky,
wandering, of your angelic eye
my soul ascends: thus, white and true,
within some melancholy garden
a fountain sighs towards the Blue!
-Towards October's softened Blue
that pure and pale in the great pools
mirrors its endless lassitude
and, on dead water where the leaves
wind-strayed in tawny anguish cleave
cold furrows, lets the yellow sun
in one long lingering ray crawl on.
