This song stays. No new one carries us, bears us so high, more swiftly. And it has no place, it changes as we change death drawn to silence at noon or in still night, who knows another, wishes one. None wishes night, but only one night, one day, sun and dark at final rest. River at spring crest, sky clear blue, forest at June greenness, delight of eye in brain fully flowering, delight of air and light and breath. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY THE IDEA OF BALANCE IS TO BE FOUND IN HERONS AND LOONS by JAMES HARRISON |
