SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 30, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: The skiey shreds of rain Last Line: She sent your song and fire. Subject(s): Nature | ||||||||
The skiey shreds of rain Are all blown loose again, And bright among the dripping chestnut boles Whistle the orioles. As if wise Nature knew The finest thing to do, And touched her forestry, supremely done, With these few flakes of sun. To-night by the June sea You are come hack to me, Through all the mellow dark from hill to hill That gladdens and grows still; As though wise Nature guessed Her love joys were the best, When down the darkling spaces of desire She sent your song and fire. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
