NIGHT FROM A FELLMAN WINDOW, by SIDNEY DRAKE First Line: My quivering square of glass Last Line: And, all the night, the stars! Subject(s): Railroads; Stars; Railways; Trains | ||||||||
My quivering square of glass Picks up a little town Of sleeping stores and houses -- Then lays it lightly down -- The bigger cities clips Between a street and street, To flick the fragments swiftly back To Night to keep, -- Indifferent, discards Black snapping tracks and cars, But, half the night, holds high the moon, And, all the night, the stars! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RAILWAY by ARTHUR CHRISTOPHER BENSON WHAT WE DID TO WHAT WE WERE by PHILIP LEVINE BURYING GROUND BY THE TIES by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH WAY-STATION by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH TWILIGHT TRAIN by EILEEN MYLES THE CAVEMAN ON THE TRAIN by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS ABOVE AND WITHIN by DAVID IGNATOW |
