WILD GOATS, by ANICE PAGE COOPER First Line: The moon is full but it won't spill over Last Line: Hearts never do. Subject(s): Bees; Girls; Hearts; Insects; Love; Beekeeping; Bugs | ||||||||
The moon is full but it won't spill over And it won't fall out when it hangs askew. The bees suck honey from tall red clover But they won't get drunk of it. Bees never do. I gave my love to a girl with amber Eyes like the windows the saints shine through. She dragged it through the brambles where wild goats clamber But my heart won't break of it. Hearts never do. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EXHAUSTED BUG; FOR MY FATHER by ROBERT BLY PLASTIC BEATITUDE by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR BEETLE LIGHT; FOR DANIEL HILLEN by MADELINE DEFREES CLEMATIS MONTANA by MADELINE DEFREES THOMAS MERTON AND THE WINTER MARSH by NORMAN DUBIE THE ROAST BEEF OF OLD ENGLAND by HENRY FIELDING |
