ALDEBARAN AT DUSK, by GEORGE STERLING Poet's Biography First Line: Thou art the star for which all evening waits Last Line: Thy lone and everlasting rose of light. Subject(s): Stars | ||||||||
THOU art the star for which all evening waits O star of peace, come tenderly and soon. Nor heed the drowsy and enchanted moon. Who dreams in silver at the eastern gates Ere yet she brim with light the blue estates Abandoned by the eagles of the noon. But shine thou swiftly on the darkling dune And woodlands where the twilight hesitates. Above that wide and ruby lake to-West, Wherein the sunset waits reluctantly, Stir silently the purple wings of Night. She stands afar, upholding to her breast, As mighty murmurs reach her from the sea, Thy lone and everlasting rose of light. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EPIC STARS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HYMN TO THE STARS by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS CHRISTMAS TREE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS CLEMATIS MONTANA by MADELINE DEFREES THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE by JAMES GALVIN TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN THE BLACK VULTURE by GEORGE STERLING |
