A FRESHET, by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM First Line: O hotspur torrent, crested high in air Last Line: A bastard from a lawful stream full well. | |||
OHOTSPUR torrent, crested high in air, Why do you cut in twain a traveller's road? No lucent wave fit for the Nymphs you bear, Drunk with your drawings from a thunder-cloud; I'll see you shrivel yet -- the sun can tell A bastard from a lawful stream full well. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ONCE IN A WAY by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM THE OLD FERRYMAN by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM BROODING GRIEF by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE THE ROPEWALK by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW BRUCE: HOW THE BRUCE CROSSED LOCH LOMOND by JOHN BARBOUR LINES ADAPTED TO A FAVOURITE MILITARY AIR by JAMES HAY BEATTIE BROOK IN DROUGHT by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
