AUGUST, by MABLE BANKS PIPER First Line: White clouds, blue skies Last Line: When she finds her first gray hair. Subject(s): August | ||||||||
White clouds, blue skies, Insects droning in the grass, Yellow butterflies and smoky lavender; Nodding golden rod, Asters white and purple, And here and there against the hillside A bright leaf, Which smites the heart with sadness Such as a woman feels When she finds her first gray hair. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MIDSUMMER LETTER by DONALD HALL LATE AUGUST by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY THE LAST DAY OF AUGUST by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE AUGUST MOONRISE by SARA TEASDALE MIDSUMMER NIGHT by SARA TEASDALE THE FRUITS OF THE SEASON by JAMES WRIGHT THE SHEPHEARDES CALENDER: AUGUST by EDMUND SPENSER |
