UNITY, by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD First Line: A sombre pine is stirred Last Line: And brushed by the bird's soft wing. Subject(s): Dreams; Pine Trees; Nightmares | ||||||||
A sombre pine is stirred By the recreant wind on high, And out of the gloom, like a word Breaketh a bird to the sky. The sky speaks truth through a star, The star seeks the heart of the sea, To the sea strives a river afar, To the river a brook laughs free, And down to the brook there gleams The thread of a mountain spring, Born in the hush of that pine-tree's dreams, And brushed by the bird's soft wing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS AN OLD STREET by VIRGINIA WOODWARD CLOUD |
