FOUNTAIN, by VYACHESLAV IVANOVICH IVANOV Poem Explanation Poet's Biography First Line: Clear the fountain waters glowing Last Line: "for the stintless bucket fills." Subject(s): Fountains; Springs (water) | ||||||||
Clear the fountain waters glowing, Living streams, the well-springs flowing, Cold, in darkling woods, a spring. In the shed, cool stillness streaming, O'er the well, a candle gleaming On Christ's crown its gilding flings. In the Eden fielda bower, And a fountain, and a flower. Christ, star-voiced, the spirit stills: "Come, before the well-spring stooping, Of my quiet waters scooping, For the stintless bucket fills." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOB-NY-USHTEY (WATER'S MOUTH) by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN THE OLD SPRING by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN LOST VALLEY by GLENN WARD DRESBACH THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 82 by HAN SHAN THE POEMS OF PICKUP: 49 by HAN SHAN OUR LADY'S WELL by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS HOW SPRINGS CAME FIRST by ROBERT HERRICK SONNET: 1.
