THE Archer is wake! The Swan is flying! Gold against blue An Arrow is lying. There is hunting in heaven -- Sleep safe till to-morrow. The Bears are abroad! The Eagle is screaming! Gold against blue Their eyes are gleaming! Sleep! Sleep safe till to-morrow. The Sisters lie With their arms intertwining; Gold against blue Their hair is shining! The Serpent writhes! Orion is listening! Gold against blue His sword is glistening! Sleep! There is hunting in heaven -- Sleep safe till to-morrow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PARTED by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR CACOETHES SCRIBENDI by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES SALLY SIMKIN'S LAMENT by THOMAS HOOD THE DYING WORDS OF STONEWALL JACKSON by SIDNEY LANIER HAWTHORNE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW BARCLAY OF URY by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER RECOMPENSE by JESSE M.
