GYPSY SONG, by HELEN PRICE First Line: What is it within me that's yearning to go Last Line: To shatter the sky like a comet at night. Subject(s): Birds; Music & Musicians; Singing & Singers | ||||||||
What is it within me that's yearning to go Whenever the dawn sets the east all aglow? There's a fire in my blood like the flame in the sky And a wild gypsy song in the wind rushing by. My feet are a-tingle to follow the bird Whose clear, thrilling call was the summons I heard, And the wings of my heart are a-quiver for flight To shatter the sky like a comet at night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY FLUTE-PRIEST SONG FOR RAIN; CEREMONIAL AT THE SUN SPRING by AMY LOWELL |
