WINTERS PASS, by RAYMOND JOSEPH KRESENSKY Poet's Biography First Line: Never let it be said Last Line: A gray rabbit jumping noiselessly. Subject(s): Winter | ||||||||
Never let it be said That winters pass with a heavy tread. Softly the winters pass Without breaking the ice On a single blade of grass. They only brush the drifts of snow As they go. They would not sacrifice One frozen star Nor move the rippling rivers From where they are. They stop in sympathy When they witness the casual shivers Of the small trees -- With less of grace than ease A gray rabbit jumping noiselessly. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOOKING EAST IN THE WINTER by JOHN HOLLANDER WINTER DISTANCES by FANNY HOWE WINTER FORECAST by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN AT WINTER'S EDGE by JUDY JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 34 by JAMES JOYCE DISCOVERY (2) by RAYMOND JOSEPH KRESENSKY ELEGY FOR A LITTLE GIRL BURNED BENEATH OAK TREES by RAYMOND JOSEPH KRESENSKY |
