Classic and Contemporary Poetry
PLUNDER, by ANNE MURRY MOVIUS
First Line: Night ran away and carried along
Last Line: Even the ghost of the waterfall fled.
First Line: Night ran away and carried along
Last Line: Even the ghost of the waterfall fled.
Night ran away and carried along
Stars and moon and a bird song.
Fragrance and dew and plumes of trees,
Night could not carry any of these.
And Dawn's sleepy eye opened to find
A gown of mist trailing behind.
But when Morning crept in from her bed,
Even the ghost of the waterfall fled.
