NIGHT AND MORNING SONGS: 14. RING-DOVE SONG, by GORDON BOTTOMLEY Poet's Biography First Line: Softly I sing you, sweet Last Line: Sweet. Subject(s): Doves | ||||||||
SOFTLY I sing you, sweet, Songs of the swaying tops, Darkly green of the fir-trees, Airily light of the beeches. Here in the twittering frondage Sweetly the scent of larch-bloom Over me sweeps in a tide, Breaks on this emerald shore. Softly the branches wave, Soft as I sing to you, Sweet. | Other Poems of Interest...THE TURTLE DOVES by PHILIP AYRES LETTING THE DOVES OUT by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER THE DOVE'S NECK by GERALD STERN THE DOVE IN SPRING by WALLACE STEVENS WHAT THE DOVE SINGS by CAROL FROST THE DOVE by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR |
