TO MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAVADRA, by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK Poet's Biography First Line: A bluebird lives in yonder tree Last Line: "there are no birds in last year's nests""?" Subject(s): Cervantes, Miguel De (1547-1616); Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel De | |||
White mist wings the pink-draped sky; Gold clouds kiss the blue mountain crest; Song-birds soar and mock their love with laughter and cry! The baby smiles in silver joy To the stars silent, flower-like call. Mother whispers with tulip-lips, pearl-tears filling her eyes. From an old oriole's nest she peeps. I see the English sparrow tilt Upon the limb with sun begilt, -- His nest an ancient swallow built. So it was one of your old jests, Eh, Mig. Cervantes, that attests "There are no birds in last year's nests"? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CERVANTES by SILAS WEIR MITCHELL APRIL TWENTY-THIRD by THOMAS WALSH AT THE SHRINE by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK A BULB by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK A SONG OF SUMMER by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK AN EPITAPH by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK GHOSTS by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK IN DEFENCE OF THE ADVERTISING MUSE by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK PUT TO SLEEP by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK STRAWBERRIES by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK |
