SOME fair retirement where always The nights shall be serene and still With shadowless and shining days, With songs to speak their sovereign will. Some white old house upon the heights, And there, perchance, some roguish maid To calm thy heart with her delights Till every care aside is laid. A garden to the winds displayed, Its terrace perfumed with the pines Some books with Horace's fair lines. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN A BALLAD OF OLD POPE JOHN by THOMAS WALSH |
