WESTERN MORNING, by WILLIMINA L. ARMSTRONG First Line: I saw a bloom one morn that could not stay Last Line: In molten cadences of growing grain. | |||
I saw a bloom one morn that could not stay; The sea spread out a panoply of pearl; I watched a wing of night departing, grey And furtive, fold a thought of rest in furl. A breathing dawn, in evanescent gauze, Swept down upon the slowly waking fields, A passing sweetness made no more of pause Upon the senses than a vision yields. The earth arose and laid her mists away, The birds made greeting, each to every one, A dewdrop showed its mirror to the day -- For on the rim of nothing stood the sun. And in the air a heavenly sweet refrain In molten cadences of growing grain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HIMALAYA by WILLIMINA L.
