WINTER NIGHT, by NELLE ARNOLD First Line: The last white star is hung against the sky Last Line: Sleeps still and warm. Subject(s): Night; Winter; Bedtime | ||||||||
The last white star is hung against the sky And the hills lie Crouched on the silent earth, and stark trees stand Ghost gibbets on the land. Frost is like silver flame, or sullen rime In the moon's time. Spread on a hill's dark breast, a brooding farm Sleeps still and warm. | 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 |
