MIRAGES, by ARLEN OBERSON First Line: Forests may glow like a wave of fire Last Line: Until they come true. Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares | ||||||||
Forests may glow like a wave of fire, When the sunset steals in; Rivers may claim unfathomable depths, When the birch trees look in; Hill-tops may tower to meet the sky, When we look up towards them; Daylight seems stifling in densest smoke, When the mist king holds reign; Dreams may be wreathed in a golden light, Until they come true. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS CAMPUS SONNET: MAY MORNING by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET |
