THE LIFE-FORCE, by RHYS CARPENTER Poet's Biography First Line: Against the sun I saw a bird Last Line: Against the sun. Subject(s): Birds; Life; Sun | ||||||||
AGAINST the sun I saw a bird, Brown body, beating wings of dun, And carolling a song unheard Against the sun. Through ocean, earth, and ether run The forces of a hidden word Reverberant ere earth begun, The impulse of a flood unstirred, Divisionless, eternal, one With that far singing of a bird Against the sun. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN AGAINST EXCESS OF SEA OR SUN OR REASON by WILLIAM MEREDITH WHY I WAKE EARLY by MARY OLIVER CONTRA MORTEM: THE SUN by HAYDEN CARRUTH SERPENT SUN EYE BEWITCHING MY EYE by AIME CESAIRE |
