SCINTILLATE, scintillate, globule orific, Fain would I fathom thy nature's specific. Loftily poised in ether capacious, Strongly resembling a gem carbonaceous. When torrid Phoebus refuses his presence And ceases to lamp with fierce incandescence, Then you illumine the regions supernal, Scintillate, scintillate, semper nocturnal. Then the victim of hospiceless peregrination Gratefully hails your minute coruscation. He could not determine his journey's direction But for your bright scintillating protection. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEMORY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON DOMESDAY BOOK: ARCHIBALD LOWELL by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: BARNEY HAINSFEATHER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS TO THE RIVER CHARLES by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE LITTLE GHOST by EDNA ST.
