Let it be invisible, We shall see and hear as well. Let it hide in ways unknown, We shall teach it to cut stone. If it lives where planets reel, We shall make it turn a wheel; And call it from the plunging roar Of cataracts, to close a door. After us, let it be said, "They taught the whirlwind to bake bread; "Gave mute space a clacking tongue, "Gave the smothering sea a lung, "Made the mountain tie their shoes, "The lightning walk by two and twos; "And worshipped high above the square "Wonder, in a blue plush chair." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BLUE-BUTTERFLY DAY by ROBERT FROST CEREMONIES FOR CHRISTMAS (1) by ROBERT HERRICK A FLOWER OF THE FIELDS by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN THE TOLLMAN'S DAUGHTER by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN MOONLIGHT IN MAY by CHARLES JULIEN LIOULT DE CHENEDOLLE |
