THE sun's a lamp so large and round, It lights up all the sky and ground; The stars are lamps that shine at night To keep the lonely pathways bright; The moon's a lamp that's often small, And sometimes like a great red ball— A Chinese lantern in the sky Hanging very far and high; Then there are other lamps than these— Just little lamps among the trees; And in the grass the fairies swing Tiny glow-worms flickering, And in a circle dance and sing. So there are lamps of every size Shining in the earth and skies. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LAUGHTER (YOUTH SPEAKS TO HIS OWN OLD AGE) by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 12 by CONRAD AIKEN DEVASTATION by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE TOURNAMENT by SIDNEY LANIER TWO POEMS FROM THE WAR: 2 by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH A REPUBLIC! by EDGAR LEE MASTERS DOMESDAY BOOK: GEORGE JOSLIN ON LA MENKEN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
