SHUTTLE SONG, by MARION CUMMINGS First Line: As a weaver's shuttle Last Line: "beyond the sun." Subject(s): Spinning; Weaving & Weavers | ||||||||
As a weaver's shuttle, To and fro, The days come And the days go. Faster and faster The shuttles run, Now what shall be woven When the web is done? "You shall have a shroud For life that's done And a birth robe For life begun. "Be the thread dark, Or be the thread fair, Stain of passion Or white of prayer, When the shuttles are still And the last thread run You shall wear it Beyond the sun." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WEAVERS ALL by MINNIE KEITH BAILEY THE WEAVER by CHARLES GRANGER BLANDEN OCTAVES by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN MY HEART WAS ANCE by ROBERT BURNS THE GALLANT WEAVER by ROBERT BURNS THE WEAVER'S DREAM by ALICE CARY AN HOUR OF IDLENESS; IN THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS by MARION CUMMINGS DILIGENCE IS TO MAGIC AS PROGRESS IS TO FLIGHT by MARIANNE MOORE |
