THE sun shone, All was still. The sun made one sparkle in one drop Before it fell Down into the mossy green That was the grass. It lay there silent A long time. The sun went, the moon came, Again one sparkle in the grass! Day then night, sun then moon, Year in, year out, So it went on with its life For several years Until at last it was never heard of Any more. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: ELMER BARR by EDGAR LEE MASTERS OCTAVES: 20 by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON THE SCHOLAR GIPSY by MATTHEW ARNOLD DEAD COW FARM by ROBERT RANKE GRAVES FOR DECORATION DAY: 1898-1899 by RUPERT HUGHES THE AGED LOVER RENOUNCETH LOVE by THOMAS VAUX THE MUD-FISH, BY AN INDIGNANT TORY FOOTMAN by CHARLES WILLIAM SHIRLEY BROOKS |
