A SUMMER NIGHT, by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS Poet's Biography First Line: Her soft, cool arms extending, / night comes anew Last Line: With it might go! Subject(s): Night; Summer; Bedtime | |||
HER soft, cool arms extending, Night comes anew; Fields, woods, and meadows clasping Her heart unto; With mantle light enwrapping Each tree and bush, While murmuring tones the world To dreams doth hush. The earth hath now forgotten Day's misery; Mine eyes I lift in longing Toward the sky. I see a wee bird soaring In sunset's glow: Ah, would my heart, so weary, With it might go! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN |
