AN ACROSTIC: THE MOON, by LUCRETIA MARIA DAVIDSON First Line: Lo! Yonder rides the empress of the night! Last Line: And gloomy darkness takes its vacant place. Subject(s): Moon | |||
Lo! yonder rides the empress of the night! Unveil'd she casts around her silver light; Cease not, fair orb, thy slow majestic march, Resume again thy seat in yon blue arch. E'en now, as weary of the tedious way, Thy head on ocean's bosom thou dost lay; In his blue waves thou hid'st thy shining face, And gloomy darkness takes its vacant place. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN THE MOON AND THE SPECTATOR by LEONIE ADAMS FULL MOON by KARLE WILSON BAKER NO MORE OF THE MOON by MORRIS GILBERT BISHOP THE DEPARTURE by DENISE LEVERTOV THE MOON IN GREECE by TIMOTHY LIU A DREAM by LUCRETIA MARIA DAVIDSON |
