When, like a sleeping child Or a bird in the nest, The day is gathered To the earth's breast . . . Hush! . . . 'tis the Dream-Wind, Breathing peace, Breathing rest, Out of the Gardens of Sleep in the West. Oh, come to me, wandering Wind of the West! Grey doves of slumber Come hither to rest! . . . Hush! . . . now the wings cease Below the dim trees . . . And the White Rose of Rest Breathes low in the Gardens of Sleep in the West. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BROKEN BALANCE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SUBJECTED EARTH by ROBINSON JEFFERS GEOMETAPHYSICS by MARGARET AVISON NIAGARA by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SOPHISTICATION by CONRAD AIKEN I SEE CHILE IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR by AGHA SHAHID ALI WASHING OUR HANDS OF THE REST OF AMERICA by MARVIN BELL |
