COUNCIL, by ELIZABETH BROWN (AMERICAN) First Line: Do not go to the hunted hill Last Line: Blind your daring eyes. | |||
Do not go to the hunted hill Where the wild grape entwines. You will be stabbed by poisoned thorns And throttled by dark vines. Do not wade in the willow stream Where no cool waters flow, For those dry beds are fathomless A thousand depths below. Do not walk in the witches' wood, Lest tiger leaves arise, Or tangled web of spider should Blind your daring eyes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BURNING DAWN by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AWAKENING by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON WAITING IN THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL by CLARENCE MAJOR SEA GODS: 3 by HILDA DOOLITTLE THE CHARGE AT SANTIAGO by WILLIAM HAMILTON HAYNE THE SAILOR; A ROMAIC BALLAD by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM |
