PROLOGUE, by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY Poet's Biography First Line: Whose blood runs gay as summer's Last Line: One of your kith and kind. Subject(s): Blood; Hearts; Night; Bedtime | ||||||||
Whose blood runs gay as summer's, Whose heart is sure and proud, Whose days are all newcomers, Whose nights are dream-endowed, -- Pass on, lest you should hear Speech neither sweet nor clear. Whose blood is slowly spilling, Whose heart has crimson scars, Whose days have lost their thrilling, Whose nights have lost their stars -- Pause here and you will find One of your kith and kind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN OVERTONES by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY |
