MINSTREL OF THE SUN, by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER First Line: By sum of vowels and consonants Last Line: She's minstrel of the sun. | |||
By sum of vowels and consonants I could not call her name. Yet always I can see her face Wherever there is flame. When I watch clouds that burn away Along the edge of night, Tripping she comes down flickering lanes And dances in the light. She wore the colors tamed by him Who was the god of fire. Logi was present at her birth. His gift was wild desire. She feared the quiet of the dark And laughed when lightning flashed To break the calm. She clapped her hands When thunder rolled and crashed. Though now she lies where dark winds blow And shadowy webs are spun, Her spirit dwells in light, and still She's minstrel of the sun. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANOTHER FRANCIS OF ASSISI by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER ANTIQUE JEWELER by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER IMAGINARY ANCESTORS: THE GIRAFFE WOMAN OF BURMA by MADELINE DEFREES THE POET AND HIS SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR TO HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW; ON HIS BIRTHDAY, 27 FEB. 1867 by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL DRINKING SONG, FR.
