BROADWAY IN THE OZARKS: NIGHT, by BETTY CORBETT BASSETT First Line: The tall, flung trees Last Line: The virgin, noisy night untouched by man-made melody. Subject(s): Ozarks (mountains) | |||
The tall, flung trees, Peopled by whirring wings, Speak stridently into one of summer's neon nights. The big, pale moon Saunters slowly down the skies ... Times Square surrounded by the stars' headlights. The little lightning-bugs Flash on, wink off, Dots and dashes on the screens of shadows' density; This, before my eyes, Is oldest bedlam -- The virgin, noisy night untouched by man-made melody. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OZARKS PICTURESQUE by DORIS ELIZABETH KROETER MOONLIGHT: CHICKENS ON THE ROAD by ROBERT WRIGLEY CONCERNING NECESSITY by HAYDEN CARRUTH RODNEY'S RIDE [JULY 3, 1776] by ELBRIDGE STREETER BROOKS LORD WALTER'S WIFE by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING CARILLON by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW FLAMMONDE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON TO THE CUCKOO (1) by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH AT ELLIS ISLAND by MARGARET LIVINGSTON CHANLER ALDRICH THE GUERDON by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE ARGONAUTS (ARGONATUICA): MEDEA'S PARTING WORDS by APOLLONIUS RHODIUS |
