'\White star! that travellest at old Maggie's pace About my field, where'er a wandering mouth, And foot, that slowly shifts from place to place, Conduct thee, -- East or West, or North or South; A loving eye is my best chart to find Thy whereabouts at dawn or dusk; but when She dreams at noon, with heel a-tilt behind, And pendent lip, I mark thee fairest then; I see thee dip and vanish, when she rolls On earth, supine; then with one rousing shake Reculminate; but, most, thou lovest to take A quiet onward course -- Heaven's law controls The mild, progressive motion thou dost make, Albeit thy path is scarce above the mole's. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALL THE LITTLE HOOFPRINTS by ROBINSON JEFFERS ROAN STALLION by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES DANCERS AT THE MOY by PAUL MULDOON CRAZY HORSE SPEAKS: 3 by SHERMAN ALEXIE HER FIRST-BORN by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER |
