HIDDEN WATER, by FLORIAA WATTS SMYTH First Line: Water in hole and trench Last Line: And leap and thunder. Subject(s): Water | ||||||||
Water in hole and trench On the earth's wide crust, Is water enough to quench Thirst or lay dust, But, oh -- the river and lake Under house and hill, Source of the springs that break Forth, cool, still! Slow are those rivers and dark. They curve and meet and spread, Leaving no mark For searchers overhead. Deep in bedrock, they Flow as all streams flow Into gulf and bay. There's little that we know Of river-mouth and creek Far down under A cliff where seas break And leap and thunder. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STARS WHICH SEE, STARS WHICH DO NOT SEE by MARVIN BELL WASHING OUR HANDS OF THE REST OF AMERICA by MARVIN BELL WATER, WINTER, FIRE by MARVIN BELL A THOUSAND TIMES by FLORIAA WATTS SMYTH |
