A WINTER TWILIGHT, by ARLO BATES Poet's Biography First Line: Pale beryl sky, with clouds Last Line: Of day's keen pain away. Subject(s): Peace; Night; Bedtime | |||
PALE beryl sky, with clouds Hued like dove's wing, O'ershadowing The dying day, And whose edge half enshrouds The first fair evening star, Most crystalline by far Of all the stars that night enring, Half human in its ray, -- What blessed, soothing sense of calm Comes with this twilight, -- sovereign balm That takes at last the bitter sting Of day's keen pain 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 |
