POET AND LARK, by MARY AINGE DE VERE First Line: When leaves turn outward to the light Last Line: Content to dream, and sing no more. Alternate Author Name(s): Bridges, Madeline | |||
WHEN leaves turn outward to the light, And all the roads are fringed with green, When larks are pouring, high, unseen, The joy they find in song and flight, Then I, too, with the lark would wing My little flight, and, soaring, sing. When larks drop downward to the nest, And day drops downward to the sea, And song and wing are fain to rest, The lark's dear wisdom guideth me, And I too turn within my door, Content to dream, and sing no more. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BREATH by MARY AINGE DE VERE A FAREWELL by MARY AINGE DE VERE CHILDREN: THE BOY-CHILD by MARY AINGE DE VERE CHILDREN: THE GIRL-CHILD by MARY AINGE DE VERE FAITH TREMBLING by MARY AINGE DE VERE FRIEND AND LOVER by MARY AINGE DE VERE GOD KEEP YOU by MARY AINGE DE VERE THE SPINNER by MARY AINGE DE VERE THE THIRD PROPOSITION by MARY AINGE DE VERE THE WINDSWEPT WHEAT by MARY AINGE DE VERE |
