SONG, by GLADYS CROMWELL Poet's Biography First Line: I like to see the pebbles creep Last Line: A tiny shell with wings. Subject(s): Love | |||
I LIKE to see the pebbles creep Into the ocean's hand. I like to see the water spread Wide fingers on the sand, And fumble for the emeralds The foaming ripples hold, Or grope among the seaweeds for A clasp of coral cold. I like to see the ocean stoop And gather shining things: Chrysolite or pearl or just A tiny shell with wings. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT |
