MY DWELLING, by FRANCES HALLEY BROCKETT First Line: I'll build my cabin in the pass Last Line: To watch the clouds sail by. Subject(s): Clouds; Weather; Wind | |||
I'll build my cabin in the pass Sheer against the sky, Where pines go marching up the hills To watch the clouds sail by. I'll live with the winds away up there, I'll pal with the winds and weather, And we'll think things out in the high hills way, The hills and I, together. For thoughts will form like the floating clouds In the winds from East and West White, heaped-up thoughts, or sunlit wisps, Luminous images, truth half-guessed. World-thoughts, they'll be, that form and float, Of roots and rivers and stars and wings Of seeds and buds and ripened fruit And ageless dreaming things. Yes, I'll live in a cabiin in the pass Sheer against the sky, Where the pines go marching up the hills To watch the clouds sail by. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE WIND by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN LEAF LITTER ON ROCK FACE by HEATHER MCHUGH RESIDENTIAL AREA by JOSEPHINE MILES THE DAY THE WINDS by JOSEPHINE MILES VARIATIONS: 12 by CONRAD AIKEN OH IT'S PRETTY WINDY OUTSIDE by LARRY EIGNER HARMONY by FRANCES HALLEY BROCKETT |
