EVERY LEAF TENDS EARTHWARD, by MAX DAUTHENDEY First Line: A mist hangs over the morning like snow Last Line: Oh, take me too when you come to die. | |||
A mist hangs over the morning like snow, it hurts the leaves on the birches so, that they fall, yellow, and flutter, dumb, and every leaf to the ground would come. We walk behind the leaves wind-blown, they fly away into the unknown. I follow as blindly when you go by— Oh, take me too when you come to die. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE'S CALENDAR: AUGUST by MAX DAUTHENDEY LOVE'S CALENDAR: JULY by MAX DAUTHENDEY LOVE'S CALENDAR: MARCH by MAX DAUTHENDEY LOVE'S CALENDAR: NOVEMBER by MAX DAUTHENDEY THE MOON IS A FIERY ROSE by MAX DAUTHENDEY THE RAIN SEEMS POSSESSED by MAX DAUTHENDEY BUCOLIC COMEDY: THE FOX; FOR ANN PEARN by EDITH SITWELL IN THE HOLY NATIVITY [OF OUR LORD GOD]; AS SUNG BY SHEPHERDS by RICHARD CRASHAW HERE LIES A LADY by JOHN CROWE RANSOM |
