EVEN AS DEWS FALL, by VINA BRUCE CHILTON First Line: Nightly the dews of heaven spill Last Line: His love lies brooding over all. Alternate Author Name(s): Chilton, V. Bruce Subject(s): Faith; Night; Belief; Creed; Bedtime | |||
Nightly the dews of heaven spill Enchantment over tree and hill, To charm the rose, to fill the air With fragrant pleasures everywhere. Now that the evening chimes are rung, Now that the evening prayers are sung, O love, thy heart, thy flower cup Hold, that the Lord may fill it up! Even as dews that lightly fall His love lies brooding over all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN NOCTURNE by VINA BRUCE CHILTON WHEN WINTER SNOWS HAVE FALLEN by VINA BRUCE CHILTON ILKA BLADE O' GRASS KEPS ITS AIN DRAP O' DEW by JAMES BALLANTYNE |
