TEWA SONG, by WILLIAM HASKELL SIMPSON First Line: Above the lands Last Line: Moon old man! Subject(s): Moon; Sun | ||||||||
Above the lands, Above the seas, You see, you know, All mysteries -- Sun Old Man, Moon Old Man! Would I could fly On widespread wing Where whirlpools are And flame-tips sing -- Sun Old Man, Moon Old Man! Die in the sea, And rise at morn; Thus would I go, And thus be born -- Sun Old Man, Moon Old Man! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN AGAINST EXCESS OF SEA OR SUN OR REASON by WILLIAM MEREDITH WHY I WAKE EARLY by MARY OLIVER CONTRA MORTEM: THE SUN by HAYDEN CARRUTH SERPENT SUN EYE BEWITCHING MY EYE by AIME CESAIRE NICHOLAS NYE by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
