EVENING ON LAKE SUPERIOR, by HARRY HIBBARD KEMP Poet's Biography First Line: Like to a molten globe which workers turn Last Line: Our shadowy tow-boat followed in our wake. Subject(s): Great Lakes; Night; Bedtime | |||
LIKE to a molten globe which workers turn, Of crimson-heated steel, the sinking sun Dropped to the far blue level of the lake And laid a burning causeway o'er the waves. Then in the russet twilight sable clouds Sat here and there, sprinkled with little stars— Thus darkness came, and, a red light to port, A green to starboard, at the cable's end Our shadowy tow-boat followed in our wake. | 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 A SAILOR CHANTEY (ON BARK 'PESTALLOZI' OFF TRISTAN D'ACUNHA ISLANDS) by HARRY HIBBARD KEMP |
