EARTH'S BREAST, by ELIZABETH BARBARA CANADAY First Line: Dear earth, it almost seems a sacrilege Last Line: Of earth. It breathes so near the heart of god. Subject(s): Earth; Walking; World | |||
Dear earth, it almost seems a sacrilege After the patterned ways may feet have trod On cobblestones and pavements beaten hard, To set my sandaled feet upon your sod. Oh shoes, tread lightly on the tender breast Of earth. It breathes so near the heart of God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BROKEN BALANCE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SUBJECTED EARTH by ROBINSON JEFFERS GEOMETAPHYSICS by MARGARET AVISON NIAGARA by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SOPHISTICATION by CONRAD AIKEN I SEE CHILE IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR by AGHA SHAHID ALI WASHING OUR HANDS OF THE REST OF AMERICA by MARVIN BELL THE EARTH IS A LIVING THING by LUCILLE CLIFTON BRER RABBIT, YOU'S DE CUTES' OF 'EM ALL by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON |
