SONNET: FRESHNESS OF POETIC PERCEPTION, by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Day followed day; years perish; still mine eyes Last Line: A cloud rose-edged, and fleeting stars at night! Subject(s): Poetry & Poets | ||||||||
DAY followed day; years perish; still mine eyes Are opened on the self-same round of space; Yon fadeless forests in their Titan grace, And the large splendors of those opulent skies. I watch, unwearied, the miraculous dyes Of dawn or sunset; the soft boughs which lace Round some coy dryad in a lonely place, Thrilled with low whispering and strange sylvan sighs: Weary? the poet's mind is fresh as dew, And oft re-filled as fountains of the light. His clear child's soul finds something sweet and new Even in a weed's heart, the carved leaves of corn, The spear-like grass, the silvery rim of morn, A cloud rose-edged, and fleeting stars at night! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
