A HOLIDAY, by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Along the pastoral ways I go Last Line: And I its happy guest. Subject(s): Vacation | |||
ALONG the pastoral ways I go, To get the healing of the trees, The ghostly news the hedges know; To hive me honey like the bees, Against the time of snow. The common hawthorn that I see, Beside the sunken wall astir, Or any other blossoming tree, Is each God's fair white gospeller, His book upon the knee. A gust-broken bough; a pilfered nest; Rumors of orchard or of bin; The thrifty things of east and west, -- The countryside becomes my Inn, And I its happy guest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BUFFALO - ISLE OF WIGHT POWER CABLE by ANSELM HOLLO WHEN THE VACATION IS OVER FOR GOOD by MARK STRAND BACK FROM VACATION by JOHN UPDIKE A CHRISTMAS FOLK-SONG by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE |
