LOOK at the stars! look, look up at the skies! O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air! The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there! Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves'-eyes! The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies! Wind-beat whitebeam! airy abeles set on a flare! Flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare! -- Ah well! it is all a purchase, all is a prize. Buy then! bid then! -- What? -- Prayer, patience, aims, vows. Look, look: a May-mess, like on orchard boughs! Look! March-bloom, like on mealed-with-yellow sallows! These are indeed the barn; withindoors house The shocks. This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse Christ home, Christ and his mother and all his hallows. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WORLD-SOUL by RALPH WALDO EMERSON BOSTON COMMON: 1869 by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES LAST SONNET (REVISED VERSION) by JOHN KEATS MY GARDEN by CLARA MCKEE BEEDE PERSONALITY by WILLIAM ROSE BENET MOURNING WOMEN by MATHILDE BLIND STRANGE PERSPECTIVE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
