GREY spring day And a grey sky, Like flocks of sheep and lambs The low clouds lie. South wind, a shepherd, Quietly masses Tender flocks and herds To the grey grasses. Like a kind shepherd, To the grey hill, Drives his flocks and herds The way he will. Sward grey as dew Sudden discloses Glimpse of tender gold, Ashes of roses. Through the mild country, Grey as a dove, Clouds like sheep and lambs Quietly rove. Low gleam the pastures Of the low sky; Like sheep and lambs at rest The grey clouds lie. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PRIME OF LIFE by WALTER LEARNED LEAVES, SHADOWS, AND DREAMS by WILLIAM SHARP THE REASON WHY by AMELIA WOODWARD TRUESDELL THE GREY MORNINGS by KATHARINE TYNAN DEAD LOVE (HEARD SUNG BY AN OLD WOMAN OF THE ISLAND OF TIREE) by ANONYMOUS OF AN ORCHARD by KATHARINE TYNAN SHEEP AND LAMBS by KATHARINE TYNAN THE SAD MOTHER by KATHARINE TYNAN |
