THIS WAY TO WINTER, by JAMES STEPHENS Poet's Biography First Line: Day by day Last Line: -- 'tis a hardy day! Subject(s): Winter | ||||||||
Day by day The sun's broad beam Fades away By a golden gleam; Hark on the cliff How the sea-gulls scream! Eve by eve The wind, more drear, Stays to grieve That the winter's near; -- Hark how the crisp leaves Dart and fleer! Night by night The shade grows dense, And the cold starlight Beams more intense; -- Hark how the beggar boy Asks for peace! Get you out Your muffler grey, Your boots so stout, And your great-coat, pray, And put on your gloves, -- 'Tis a hardy day! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOOKING EAST IN THE WINTER by JOHN HOLLANDER WINTER DISTANCES by FANNY HOWE WINTER FORECAST by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN AT WINTER'S EDGE by JUDY JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 34 by JAMES JOYCE |
