Classic and Contemporary Poetry
THE DISCOVERER, by NATHALIA CRANE
First Line: Mystical, sorrowful, stiff and still
Last Line: He had found at last where the summer goes.
First Line: Mystical, sorrowful, stiff and still
Last Line: He had found at last where the summer goes.
Mystical, sorrowful, stiff and still,
A sparrow stood on a wintry sill.
The night wind laden with icy sleet
Ruffled his feathers and stung his feet,
But his right eye peered through a window pane
And visioned the warmth of a June-time lane.
He saw the lights from a fireplace fall
Over the patterns on somebody's wall.
His heart was thrilled by a paper rose --
He had found at last where the summer goes.
