BEAUTY STILL WAITS, by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON Poet's Biography First Line: The blent delight of summer! Far and faint Last Line: To show her forth, for man's most fond regard. Subject(s): Beauty; Birds; Summer | ||||||||
THE blent delight of summer! Far and faint The hills, hard by the hayfield's fragrancy, And yonder bosky thicket whence to me Floated last night the thrush's mellow plaint, Fit sound to woo the moon. No cloud-flecks taint The crystal sky that is so calm to see; The heyday of the birds is come, the glee Of brooks is heard; each tree stands like a saint In chastened meditation. When the bard Birth-claimed of seven cities oped his eyes (Not blind as yet) upon a world more young, Naught was more lovely. Here in fairest guise Beauty still waits upon the golden tongue To show her forth, for man's most fond regard. | Other Poems of Interest...THE ADVANCE OF SUMMER by MARY KINZIE THE SUMMER IMAGE by LEONIE ADAMS CANOEBIAL BLISS by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY THE END OF SUMMER by HENRY MEADE BLAND THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD SONNET: 14.
