SOME THINGS THAT FLY THERE BE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: How still the riddle lies!
Subject(s): Sky


Some things that fly there be-

Birds-Hours-the Bumblebee-
Of these no Elegy.

Some things that stay there be-
Grief-Hills-Eternity-
Nor this behooveth me.

There are that resting, rise.
Can I expound the skies?
How still the Riddle lies!
