NEW GOLD, by MARY LEONARD WEST First Line: New gold that surges up the hollow Last Line: New gold. Subject(s): Apollo; Gold; Mythology - Classical; October | ||||||||
New gold that surges up the hollow, A dash of verve for the wind to hold -- Not Midas' touch, but the lyre of Apollo, New gold. No miser has hoarded you, buccaneer bold Never set sail, a star to follow With piles of you stacked in his musty hold. October calls to the homing swallow -- Etched in the stillness of air grown cold Color is drifting, and frost will follow New gold. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FACING INTO IT; FOR LARRY LEVIS by ELEANOR WILNER A VAGABOND SONG by BLISS CARMAN THE SHEPHEARDES CALENDER: OCTOBER by EDMUND SPENSER LATE AUTUMN by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM OCTOBER by MARIE DAVIES WARREN BECKNER OCTOER WOODS by EMMA INGOLD BOST NORTH WIND IN OCTOBER by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES NIGHT IN A SUBWAY STATION by MARY LEONARD WEST TO OUR MOCKING-BIRD; DIED OF A CAT, MAY, 1878 by SIDNEY LANIER |
