SONG, by MAXWELL STRUTHERS BURT Poet's Biography First Line: You're as lovely as a dawn of winds Last Line: In the passionate, silent forest way. Alternate Author Name(s): Burt, Struthers Subject(s): Beauty; Forests; Nature; Woods | ||||||||
YOU'RE as lovely as a dawn of winds Over the high hills calling: Flush of gold as the last star fades, Sound of waters falling; Here are flowers on the dew-wet green And the throbbing note of a bird unseen! Break o' the day, the dawn is yours, And the hush and the stir and the singing; The poignant scent of a cañon rose A small warm wind is bringing: And, O, the stir of me, lift of me, thrill, As the first light renders fine the hill! Hush o' the night, when the stars are free And the wind brings word of the river; Answering word from the listening dark Where haunted aspens quiver: Yours is the heart of those who pray In the passionate, silent forest way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PRINCESS WAKES IN THE WOOD by RANDALL JARRELL CHAMBER MUSIC: 20 by JAMES JOYCE ADVICE TO A FOREST by MAXWELL BODENHEIM A SOUTH CAROLINA FOREST by AMY LOWELL JOY IN THE WOODS by CLAUDE MCKAY IN BLACKWATER WOODS by MARY OLIVER THE PLACE I WANT TO GET BACK TO by MARY OLIVER AMENDS by MAXWELL STRUTHERS BURT |
