THE CICADA, by GEORGE ADDISON SCARBROUGH Poet's Biography
First Line: Where the bloom of the sourest honey was, the cicada is
Subject(s): Cicadas
First Line: Where the bloom of the sourest honey was, the cicada is
Subject(s): Cicadas
Where the bloom of the sourest honey was, the cicada is,
Close to the similar bark. The persimmon tree
Is a high, apt place for such a song as his.
He is too much like a new blade running free
Behind a headstrong team, though, to put my mind at ease.
He recalls too well the three, hand-running springs
When the white mares broke the mower. I have forgotten these.
And he talks only of such fast, dangerous things.
