VARIATIONS: 5, by CONRAD AIKEN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: From the cold fountain's sunlit lip Last Line: The vanishing jewels with his wings. Subject(s): Fountains | |||
From the cold fountain's sunlit lip A shining film of water spreads, It is shot with sun, it is blue and gold . . . It scatters jewels to wet the grass, And children watch it with lifted heads, And the young girls pause there as they pass . . . A sparrow sits at the edge, and flings The vanishing jewels with his wings. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FOUNTAIN by DENISE LEVERTOV THE BROKEN FOUNTAIN by AMY LOWELL FOUNTAIN IN AVIGNON by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN by ROBERT DUNCAN THE FOUNTAIN (2) by SARA TEASDALE THE FOUNTAIN (3) by SARA TEASDALE ROMAN FOUNTAIN by LOUISE BOGAN INSCRIPTION FOR A FOUNTAIN ON A HEATH by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE |
