FIELD ASTERS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Like the stars in commons blue
Last Line: Us star-gazers scrutinize.
Subject(s): Asters; Flowers


Like the stars in commons blue
Peep their namesakes, Asters here,
Wild ones every autumn seen --
Seen of all, arresting few.

Seen indeed. But who their cheer
Interpret may, or what they mean
When so inscrutably their eyes
Us star-gazers scrutinize.
