NEW ENGLAND LANDSCAPE, by DUBOSE HEYWARD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: On a sepia ground Last Line: Is slowly unwinding its skein. Subject(s): Landscape; New England | |||
On a sepia ground Shot with orange light, The pines In blue-black lines; And birches, slender, Diagonal, and white, Stencil compact designs. The inevitable wall, As it leaves the woods, Breaks to a sprawl Of separate stones, Echoing the tones Of sepia and orange With high-lights Of chrome and red, Until they find a bed In the splotched lilac Of the meadow, Or chill to blue in shadow. In the valley's cupped palm Lies a handful of ripening grain. And, riding the high blue calm Over Monadnock, A decorous cloud Is slowly unwinding its skein. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NEW ENGLAND, AUTUMN by NORMAN DUBIE NEW ENGLAND, SPRINGTIME by NORMAN DUBIE POPHAM OF THE NEW SONG: 5; FOR R.P.
