THE MOON HAS HER NEST, by MARIE AUSTIN MAJOR First Line: The moon has her nest in a tree Last Line: Little fledgling stars soon follow. Subject(s): Birds; Moon | ||||||||
The moon has her nest in a tree, Each night quite plainly I see Her rest in her golden, silvern throne -- A shimmering leaf-nest all her own. What proof hold I that the moon Is a dove, or a lark, or swallow? -- Simply watch and see in brightest shoon Little fledgling stars soon follow. | 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 PRESCIENCE by MARIE AUSTIN MAJOR |
