SCEPTIC, by STANLEY BURNSHAW First Line: Let those who know for certain that the sea Last Line: By. Subject(s): Moon; Spring | ||||||||
Let those who know for certain that the sea Is moon-reined water, that the beach is sand And heaven is a windy canopy Dangling above the rain-worn face of land, -- Let those whose minds are firm and sure, command Our dreams to die if that would make us free; Let them prepare us; make us understand; Blow light across our eyes and make us see! We shall remember what they say of night And Spring and storm; but some still words will pass Within us when we walk beneath the sky: Storm is a wild hill running mad with fright: Spring is a golden fire in the grass: Night is a stream of dark wind moving by. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD WAITING IN WINTER (1) by STANLEY BURNSHAW |
