ULTIMATE DECEMBER, by MYRA PERRINGS First Line: The year has come so soon Last Line: Of ultimate december. Subject(s): December; Holidays; New Year | ||||||||
The year has come so soon To the summit of the hill, The brief climb done, the tale All told for good or ill. Upon the path behind Lie mysteries of June And April's tears and fruit Beneath an August moon. The silver-crested May, October's scarlet bough, The bird that sang, the rose That died, are all one now. The year has golden grain, And brown leaves to remember Beneath the quiet stars Of ultimate December. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NEW YEAR'S POEM by MARGARET AVISON A SPEED OF HISTORY by MARGARET AVISON NEW YEAR'S DAY by DAVID LEHMAN LINES FOR THE NEW YEAR by JULIE CARR I AM RUNNING INTO A NEW YEAR by LUCILLE CLIFTON FOR THE NEW YEAR (2) by ROBERT CREELEY |
