Day by day The sun's broad beam Fades away By a golden gleam; Hark on the cliff How the sea-gulls scream! Eve by eve The wind, more drear, Stays to grieve That the winter's near; -- Hark how the crisp leaves Dart and fleer! Night by night The shade grows dense, And the cold starlight Beams more intense; -- Hark how the beggar boy Asks for peace! Get you out Your muffler grey, Your boots so stout, And your great-coat, pray, And put on your gloves, -- 'Tis a hardy day! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY by GEORGE GORDON BYRON AT HOME by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI MEMORY by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS A BLACKBIRD SUDDENLY by JOSEPH AUSLANDER THE SECRET OF THE BEES by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON ECCLESIASTES: THE LIGHT IS SWEET by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE |
