EVENING - MOUNTAINS, by THEODORE DREISER First Line: The shadowy hills Last Line: The poem of a star. Subject(s): Mountains; Nature; Hills; Downs (great Britain) | ||||||||
The shadowy hills Aloud chant together In audible crimson The high-born peaks Gleaming in the mournful redness Of that madman's eye -- The sun -- Declare their defiance Of their loneliness. And about them, In the steely desert of the sky Wander cloud camels, Red, Slow, And In the valleys below Under a twilight spell. The earth itself Enchanted Rests. And now Some secret poet of the soul, Find this winding stream all black, Flings upon it bosom The poem of a star. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE CONTRA MORTEM: THE MOUNTAIN FASTNESS by HAYDEN CARRUTH GREEN MOUNTAIN IDYL by HAYDEN CARRUTH IF IT WERE NOT FOR YOU by HAYDEN CARRUTH THEY SAY - . by JEAN STARR UNTERMEYER |
