Classic and Contemporary Poetry


WITHIN A CRYSTAL SPHERE by HARRIET A. JENNEY

First Line: ON THIS SLENDER BRIDGE
Last Line: BLUE AND WHITE INFINITY.
Subject(s): TANKA (AS LITERARY FORM);

On this slender bridge,
Spanning a pool scarce knee-deep,
I am at the core
Of a sphere of sky and cloud,—
Blue and white infinity.
