CLOUDS, by MELVILLE CANE Poet's Biography First Line: There were no flowers in the sky Last Line: Fragrant and without a stain. Subject(s): Clouds; Flowers; July; Sky | |||
There were no flowers in the sky, Only a cobalt field Of glittering July. Under My gaze of wonder You grew From gathered dew, Your soil the fertile breeze, Your seed the hum of bees; Rootless, Stemless, Earthless Blossoms alone and complete. Now though you disappear Out of the singing sphere There shall be no lament for fleeting beauty, No sighing breath For this which is not death. Rank decay or rot of leaf Does not mar your passage brief. Heaven bore you without pain; Heaven a garden will remain, ! Fragrant and without a stain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SMALL SELF AND THE LIBERAL SELF by JAMES GALVIN BUILDING A PAINTING A HOME by BOB HICOK HEAD SKY CONVOY PATTERN; I.M.
