THE FLYING MOUSE (NEW SOUTH WALES -- MOONLIGHT), by WILLIAM SHARP Poet's Biography First Line: The eucalyptus-blooms are sweet Last Line: Flits bat-like where the white gums rise. Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona Subject(s): Australia; Birds; Eucalyptus Trees | ||||||||
The eucalyptus-blooms are sweet With honey, and the birds all day Sip the clear juices forth: brown-grey, A bird-like thing with tiny feet Cleaves to the boughs, or with small wings Amidst the leafy spaces springs, And in the moonshine with shrill cries Flits bat-like where the white gums rise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TREES IN AUTUMN by ANNE MILLAY BREMER SAINT BRIDE'S LULLABY by WILLIAM SHARP THE BELLS OF YOUTH by WILLIAM SHARP THE FIELD MOUSE by WILLIAM SHARP A CRY ON THE WIND by WILLIAM SHARP |
