MOON AFTERGLOW, by GRACE DICKINSON SPERLING First Line: Far down the west I came on night Last Line: Who loved and would not let her go. Subject(s): Moon; Nature | ||||||||
Far down the west I came on night Sweeping the prairies dusk and bare; Long since the sun had dropped from sight, No light was shining anywhere. And as no more there shone the sun, And sleepy birds had taken flight, Up from the black-rimmed horizon, The sudden moon rolled large and bright. Red-gold at last was all her light When lingeringly she sank and slow, Her beauty must have wakened night, Who loved and would not let her go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
