AN AUTUMN NIGHT, by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS Poet's Biography First Line: Autumn night, in moonlight lying Last Line: Peace to me for aye restore? Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall | ||||||||
AUTUMN night, in moonlight lying, Solemn, pallid, sacred night, Thy cool lips, so softly sighing, Summer's eyes shut with touch light. Silver cloudlets, elfin veiling, Follow wave of thy white hand; Thousand wishes, never failing, Bear they into dreams' fair land. Peace proclaiming, peace aye bringing, Ent'ring ev'ry little room, Where'er anguish souls is wringing, Bearing healing, thou dost come. Lost in dreams, by dreams led captive, Lean I weary at the door; When wilt thou, night calm and pensive, Peace to me for aye restore? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV |
