Young Morning tapped sharply on my window; When I drew aside the curtains, he winked and grinned. ... "Over the mountains, through the swaying forests, the twelve cool-skinned winds are chasing one another. ... In the valleys, beside pools overhung by bright-leaved elders, slender nymphs recline, admiring themselves in the glistening waters. ... Earth laughs loudly ... her breath is perfumed..." I turned my back to the window. I put on a black suit, a starched collar, a grey tie; Then I ate an egg on toast, and read the morning paper; And, having kissed my wife good-bye, took a streetcar down to the office. All day two dusty, bloated flies have been crawling over the sky-light. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MY WIFE by GEORGE WASHINGTON BETHUNE VARIATION ON THE WORD SLEEP by MARGARET ATWOOD IN THE MONTH OF MAY by ROBERT BLY |
