NIGHT IN THE OZARKS, by OPAL HARDAWAY First Line: Night, when you lay black velvet paws Last Line: In man, in work, in lowly sod. Subject(s): Night; Ozarks (mountains); Bedtime | ||||||||
Night, when you lay black velvet paws Upon these hills, -- these Ozark hills, The wanderlust that ever gnaws Within my heart, your magic stills. When moonlight sweeps a wooded slope Such loveliness bespeaks of God, Thus is restored my faith, my hope In man, in work, in lowly sod. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN |
