MOONLIGHT NIGHT, by ERMINIE BROADSTONE First Line: Soft, silvery radiance in whose cool, white light Last Line: Gleaming beauty of a moonlight night. Subject(s): Moon | ||||||||
Soft, silvery radiance in whose cool, white light The flowers assume new grace And glow with strange, mysterious beauty After a sun-baked day. The birds are still, but in the pool The gold fish dart and gleam And the frogs in full chorus sing. I sit and dream in the vibrant silence Aided by elusive odours: Lavender, mint, geranium, distilled into the radiant Gleaming beauty of a moonlight night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN THE MOON AND THE SPECTATOR by LEONIE ADAMS FULL MOON by KARLE WILSON BAKER NO MORE OF THE MOON by MORRIS GILBERT BISHOP THE DEPARTURE by DENISE LEVERTOV THE MOON IN GREECE by TIMOTHY LIU THE BOOK OF STONES AND LILIES by AMY LOWELL |
