NIGHT IN JUNE by RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: I LEFT MY DREAMY PAGE AND SALLIED FORTH
Last Line: IN FAIRY GROVES OF HERDS GRASS
Subject(s): NIGHT; BEDTIME;
I left my dreamy page & sallied forth
Received the fair inscriptions of the night
The moon was making amber of the world
Glittered with silver every cottage pane
The trees were rich yet ominous with gloom the meadows broad
From ferns & grasses & from folded flowers
Sent a nocturnal fragrance the harlot flies
Flashed their small fires in air or held their court
In fairy groves of herds grass
