Around megold! Above me, vast and still The blue arch of the sky: I drink my fill Of beauty Some bleak, icy day When all the world Seems winter-bound and gray There will come floating Down the months to me The haunting vision of this mystery This sweeping carpet Of pure, sun-drenched gold, This arch of azure Flecked with fleecy white These clumps of asters, This rare, vived ssight Of full-blown spears Of yellow goldenrod Springing so freely From the humble sod; This golden moment That will be to me A setting etched With Joy's rich ecstacy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STUDY OF HAPPINESS by KENNETH KOCH SO MUCH HAPPINESS by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE CROWD CONDITIONS by JOHN ASHBERY I WILL NOT BE CLAIMED by MARVIN BELL THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#21): 1.
