HUMMING-BIRD, by PADRAIC COLUM Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Up from the navel of the world Last Line: That's bloom, and gem, and kiss of fire! Subject(s): Hummingbirds | |||
UP FROM the navel of the world, Where Cuzco has her founts of fire, The passer of the Gulf he comes. He lives in air, a bird of fire, Charted by flowers still he comes, Through spaces that are half the world. With glows of suns and seas he comes; A life within our shadowed world That's bloom, and gem, and kiss of fire! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...11:02 A.M.
