NOVEMBER, by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY Poet's Biography First Line: How has november won Last Line: How close the tears! Subject(s): Beauty; Earth; November; Tears; World | ||||||||
How has November won More loveliness With opal mist and sun Than spring can boast? The village houses all Wear aureoles. Their smoke is pale and tall As Abel's was. The winds adoringly On tiptoe pause, Nor grudge the branches free Slow gift of leaves. And on the air one note Clear, clear, and sad, From the unmated throat Of some lone bird. O earth, that doth confess In beauty God, How calm the happiness, How close the tears! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BROKEN BALANCE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SUBJECTED EARTH by ROBINSON JEFFERS GEOMETAPHYSICS by MARGARET AVISON NIAGARA by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SOPHISTICATION by CONRAD AIKEN I SEE CHILE IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR by AGHA SHAHID ALI WASHING OUR HANDS OF THE REST OF AMERICA by MARVIN BELL THE EARTH IS A LIVING THING by LUCILLE CLIFTON OVERTONES by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY |
