NIGHT WEPT!, by HALLIE ARLUND First Line: As she folded her dark wings about her Last Line: To brush them away. Subject(s): Night; Bedtime | ||||||||
As she folded her dark wings about her, Night must have wept quietly, silently, For this morning, as I glanced From out my window-pane, I saw tears, shy and tender, Sparkling from grass-blade tops -- Glistening -- waiting For the cool morning wind To brush them away. | 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 EPITAPH by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE |
