WHERE IT IS WINTER, by GEORGE O'NEIL Poet's Biography First Line: Now there is frost upon the hill Last Line: And no more spring. Subject(s): Winter | ||||||||
Now there is frost upon the hill And no leaf stirring in the wood; The little streams are cold and still; Never so still has winter stood. Never so held as in this hollow, Beneath these hemlocks dark and low, Brooding this hour that hours must follow Burdened with snow. . . . Now there is nothing, no confusion, To shield against the silence here; And spirits, barren of illusion, To whom all agonies are clear, Rush on the naked heart and cry Of every poignant shining thing Where there is little left to die And no more Spring. | 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 |
