ANOTHER DAY, by BETSY WINTER First Line: Not death today, while rain is flung Last Line: But not today! Subject(s): Immortality | ||||||||
Not death today, while rain is flung Across the budding trees' green lace In drifting veils of silver gauze, Festooning their divine young grace. Nor yet today, when sunshine lies On garden walks in powdered gold And birds, in crystal streams of song, Immortal symphonies unfold. Perhaps, when the last summons comes, It might be easy to obey Some other week or month or year, But not today! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WALLACE STEVENS' LETTERS by ROBERT BLY DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING by DAVID IGNATOW I CLOSE MY EYES by DAVID IGNATOW IN 'DESIGNING A CLOAK TO CLOAK HIS DESIGNS' YOU WRESTED FROM OBLIVION by MARIANNE MOORE THE THINGS THAT DIE by GREGORY ORR THE MAN WHO DIED TWICE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON YOUTH'S IMMORTALITY by GEORGE SANTAYANA ELEGY: THE GHOST WHOSE LIPS WERE WARM; FOR GEOFFREY GORER by EDITH SITWELL |
