MOMENT MUSICALE, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: The round moon hangs above the rim Last Line: Behold, all things are made anew! Subject(s): Old Age | ||||||||
The round moon hangs above the rim Of silent and blue shadowed trees, And all the earth is vague and dim In its blue veil of mysteries. On such a night one must believe The Golden Age returns again With lyric beauty, to retrieve The world from dreariness and pain. And down the wooded aisles, behold What dancers through the dusk appear! Piping their rapture as of old, They bring immortal freedom near. A moment on the brink of night They tread their transport in the dew, And to the rhythm of their delight, Behold, all things are made anew! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT EIGHTY I CHANGE MY VIEW by DAVID IGNATOW FAWN'S FOSTER-MOTHER by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE DEER LAY DOWN THEIR BONES by ROBINSON JEFFERS OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A WINTER ODE TO THE OLD MEN OF LUMMUS PARK, / MIAMI, FLORIDA by DONALD JUSTICE AFTER A LINE BY JOHN PEALE BISHOP by DONALD JUSTICE TO HER BODY, AGAINST TIME by ROBERT KELLY SONG FROM A COUNTRY FAIR by LEONIE ADAMS A MORE ANCIENT MARINER by BLISS CARMAN |
