AGLITTERING star is falling From its shining home in the air; The star of love 'tis surely That I see falling there. The blossoms and leaves in plenty From the apple tree fall each day; The merry breezes approach them, And with them merrily play. The swan in the pool is singing, And up and down doth he steer, And, singing gently ever, Dips under the water clear. All now is silent and darksome, The leaves and blossoms decay, The star has crumbled and vanish'd, The song of the swan died away. | 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 |
