WINTER DUSK, by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK Poet's Biography
First Line: The prospect is bare and white
Last Line: And wiggles its silver tail.
Subject(s): Dusk; Sea; Winter; Ocean
First Line: The prospect is bare and white
Last Line: And wiggles its silver tail.
Subject(s): Dusk; Sea; Winter; Ocean
THE prospect is bare and white,
And the air is crisp and chill;
While the ebon wings of night
Are spread on the distant hill.
The roar of the stormy sea
Seem the dirges shrill and sharp
That winter plays on the tree --
His wild AEolian harp.
In the pool that darkly creeps
In ripples before the gale,
A star like a lily sleeps
And wiggles its silver tail.
