Classic and Contemporary Poetry
EVENING, by ISABELLA LOCKHART ALDERMAN First Line: A gray cloud, etched against the sky Last Line: As it sinks to rest. And day is done. Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight | |||
A gray cloud, etched against the sky, Is a crusader riding by With plumed helmet and gleaming mail Searching still for the Holy Grail. The sun is low but one last ray Burnishes bright his suit of gray. A falcon chained to gauntleted wrist, Secures his perch on knightly fist And screams defiance to the sun As it sinks to rest. And day is done. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN FEBRUARY EVENING IN NEW YORK by DENISE LEVERTOV THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON NINETEEN FORTY by NORMAN DUBIE |
