Classic and Contemporary Poetry
ONCE WHEN ARCTURUS SHONE, by MABEL POSEGATE
First Line: Only the young can say
Last Line: Trailing the sky.
Subject(s): June
First Line: Only the young can say
Last Line: Trailing the sky.
Subject(s): June
Only the young can say
How things befall,
Having philosophies
That cover all.
I could dissect a rose,
Identify
Song of a lark or thrush --
Vega descry,
But could not bring again
Something we lost
Once when Arcturus shone,
Rimmed with the frost.
You have forgotten,
But never could I,
With June and the Lance-bearer
Trailing the sky.
