DAY'S BLACK STAR, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Is it that small black star Last Line: To me thy joy to live. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Birds; Stars | ||||||||
Is it that small black star, Twinkling in broad daylight, Upon the bosom of Yon cloud so white -- Is it that small black thing Makes earth and all Heaven ring! Sing, you black star; and soar Until, alas! too soon You fall to earth in one Long singing swoon; But you will rise again To heaven, from this green plain. Sing, sing, sweet star; though black, Your company's more bright Than any star that shines With a white light; Sing, Skylark, sing; and give To me thy joy to live. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EPIC STARS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HYMN TO THE STARS by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS CHRISTMAS TREE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS CLEMATIS MONTANA by MADELINE DEFREES THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE by JAMES GALVIN TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
