Now, you two eyes, that have all night been sleeping, Come into the meadows, where the lambs are leaping; See how they start at every swallow's shadow That darts across their faces and their meadow. See how the blades spring upright, when the Sun Takes off the weight of raindrops, one by one. See how a shower, that freshened leaves of grass, Can make that bird's voice fresher than it was. See how the squirrels lash the quiet trees Into a tempest, where there is no breeze! Now, you two eyes, that have all night been sleeping, Come into the meadows, where the lambs are leaping. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HUNTING PHEASANTS IN A CORNFIELD by ROBERT BLY THREE KINDS OF PLEASURES by ROBERT BLY QUESTION IN A FIELD by LOUISE BOGAN THE LAST MOWING by ROBERT FROST FIELD AND FOREST by RANDALL JARRELL AN EXPLANATION by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON IN FIELDS OF SUMMER by GALWAY KINNELL A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
