LUBBER BREEZE, by THOMAS STURGE MOORE Poet's Biography First Line: The four sails of the mill Last Line: Laughs in his sleeve. Alternate Author Name(s): Moore, T. Sturge Subject(s): Mills And Millers; Wind | |||
THE four sails of the mill Like stocks stand still; Their lantern-length is white On blue more bright. Unruffled is the mead Where lambkins feed, And sheep and cattle browse, And donkeys drowse. Never the least breeze will The wet thumb chill That the anxious miller lifts, Till the vane shifts. The breeze in the great flour-bin Is snug tucked in; The lubber, while rats thieve, Laughs in his sleeve. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE WIND by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN LEAF LITTER ON ROCK FACE by HEATHER MCHUGH RESIDENTIAL AREA by JOSEPHINE MILES THE DAY THE WINDS by JOSEPHINE MILES VARIATIONS: 12 by CONRAD AIKEN OH IT'S PRETTY WINDY OUTSIDE by LARRY EIGNER BEAUTIFUL MEALS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE |
