TOMORROW, by NATHALIA CRANE First Line: The sun shall shine in ages yet to be Last Line: Revisions of the ruby and the rose. Subject(s): Future; Nature | ||||||||
THE sun shall shine in ages yet to be, The musing moon illumine pastures dim, And afterward a new nativity For all who slept the dreamless interim. The starry brocade of the summer night Is linked to us as part of our estate; And every bee that wings its sidelong flight Assurance of a sweeter, fairer fate. The blazoned humming-bird hath made it plain It seeks ravines where wildings wreathe each wall; And there succeeding broods are marked again By rainbows o'er a rambling waterfall. When you return, the youngest of the seers, Released from fetters of ancestral pose, There will be beauty waiting down the year Revisions of the ruby and the rose. | 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.
