A ROBIN'S SONG, by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER Poet's Biography First Line: Wake, pretty one, wake! Last Line: Rest, pretty one, rest! Alternate Author Name(s): Hooker, Brian | |||
Wake, Pretty One, wake! The morn comes over the mountain; Tenderly, gaily, the swift, sweet breeze Kisses the dew from the trembling trees; Day's ready to break -- Wake, Pretty One, wake! Sing, Pretty One, sing! The violet blooms by the fountain; Under the cool of the hawthorn spray, Sunlight and shadowlet dance and play; Love, love's on the wing -- Sing, Pretty One, sing! Rest, Pretty One, rest! The sun sinks under the mountain; Mother-bird night, with her warm wings furled, Broods o'er the dusk of the sleeping world; Safe under her breast Rest, Pretty One, rest! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHARACTER by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A LITTLE PERSON by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A MAN'S SONG by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A MAN-CHILD'S LULLABY by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A PORTRAIT by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A SCHOOLGIRL SPEAKS by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A STITUATION by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER A WOMAN'S SONG by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER ABSENCES by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER AMULETS by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER |
