A VIGNETTE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN

Poet Analysis

First Line: BRONZE NOONLIGHT DOMES THE DIM BLUE GLOOM
Last Line: FAR DOWN THE OAKWOOD'S BRIDLE-PATH.

BRONZE noonlight domes the dim blue gloom
Where many-antlered oaks immure
A hush, a cool -- the "cynosure
Of neighbouring eyes," that tired with bloom
And blaze of poppied yellowing swath,
And jewelled meadows' pomp and state,
Delight to spy the glimmering gate
Far down the oakwood's bridle-path.
