I The water-thrushes play Where dogwood blossoms veil The bridal banks with loveliness; And white moths softly sail. (In valleys when the noon Drowns all other light, I see the face of her I love Like the moon at night.) II The long crane pinions home Against the bluing sky, And little hills put twilight on While the wood-songs die. (On upland fields when night Drops like a cloud of crows, I see the face of her I love Shining like a rose.) | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HANDSOME SWAMP by THOMAS LUX BOGLAND; FOR T.P.
