BARREN FIELD, by KATHLEEN SUTTON First Line: Wisdom is not a thing Last Line: Like any thief. | |||
Wisdom is not a thing To be praised; Wisdom is the barren field, The house razed. It is crusted snow over What has been, Wrought in the shape of ending, Stark and clean. Only the moon's glow softens In sad relief This place that summer has fled Like any thief. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHO WOULD BE VALIANT by KATHLEEN SUTTON A FRIEND'S SONG FOR SIMOISIUS by LOUISE IMOGEN GUINEY TACT by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON OCTOBER by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES by ALEXANDER ANDERSON PORTRAIT SONNETS: 2 by HENRY BELLAMANN RETREATS by CARRIE ADAMS BERRY THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY, SELECTION by AMBROSE BIERCE WINTER NIGHTFALL by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES TO THE HORSE BLACK EAGLE WHICH I RODE AT THE BATTLE ZAMORNA by EMILY JANE BRONTE |
