CONFIDENCES by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG

Poet Analysis

First Line: SAID THE SUN TO THE BOY
Last Line: IN HIS EMBRACE.

Said the sun to the boy:
What I spake to thee to-day,
Go and whisper to a maiden
For thy joy.

A maple bent to him:
Between thee and thy lass,
All that passed between us
Bring to pass.

That I told to thee to-night,
Said the moon,
Speak thou softly
To her soon.

When he met his love,
The sun was in his face,
The moonlight and the leaves,
In his embrace.
