A boomerang flies through the evening clouds, A golden-yellow boomerang. And I think to myself: Hullo! An Australian blackfellow angel Must have hurled that Out of the Happy Hunting-Grounds Perhaps inadvertently? The poor blackfellow! In the end a cherub prevents him From climbing the heavenly fence So that he may get his weapon Back again ... Oh, darling cherub, I beg you, for the blackfellow's sake, Consider: It is such a beautiful, Precious, Golden-yellow boomerang! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FIRST SNOW by CHRISTIAN MORGENSTERN MOONRISE by CHRISTIAN MORGENSTERN NECESSITY (- AND NECESSITY, TOO, IS BUT A GARMENT) by CHRISTIAN MORGENSTERN NIGHT SONG OF THE FISH by CHRISTIAN MORGENSTERN THE BIRD OF SADNESS by CHRISTIAN MORGENSTERN THE WOODEN FENCE by CHRISTIAN MORGENSTERN LEAVES OF A MAGAZINE by MARIANNE MOORE WAR IS KIND: 12 by STEPHEN CRANE SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 48 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
