DUSK MOOD, by HELEN EMMA MARING First Line: Falling away to a shadow Last Line: Foam on a stream. Alternate Author Name(s): Payne, Lorrin A., Mrs. | |||
Falling away to a shadow -- How would it seem to be The mauve of hills at dusk, The shade of a tree, The deepening side of a cloud, Or depths of a rose? Shadow -- and stirred by the lightest Wind that blows. Moved at the whim of sunlight, Or moonlight, or less -- The dark on a pond With a water-lily's caress. The fall of a leaf, A misty blowing curtain, Less than the touch of scent, Not to be seen for certain. What is a shadow? The negative side of a dream, Smoke in the wind by day, Foam on a stream. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EONS GONE by HELEN EMMA MARING THE STREET MASHER by HELEN EMMA MARING ISOLATION by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS by GEORGE SANTAYANA THE HERETIC: 3.
