THE IDIOT, by DAVID OSBORNE HAMILTON Poet's Biography First Line: When earth was madly green he lay Last Line: And hanged himself upon a star. Subject(s): Fools; Idiots | |||
When earth was madly green he lay And mocked his shadow's dancing feet, Or from his laughter ran away To watch the poppies burn the wheat. But when the frozen leaves whirled by And colored birds were blown afar, He climbed the bitter winter sky And hanged himself upon a star. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE VILLAGE IDIOT by EDWARD HIRSCH TWO SONGS OF A FOOL: 1 by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS TWO SONGS OF A FOOL: 2 by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS CRAZY JANE TALKS WITH THE BISHOP by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE FOOL'S ADVENTURE by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE THE CASE OF ALBERT IRVING WILLIAMSON by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS TO MEN UNBORN by DAVID OSBORNE HAMILTON AN ODE TO THE FRAMERS OF THE FRAME BILL by GEORGE GORDON BYRON |
