FIELD QUILT, by HATTIE B. TERRILL First Line: Late summer sends her mystic haze Last Line: Makes dark gray ribbon for the binding. Subject(s): Fields; Summer; Pastures; Meadows; Leas | |||
Late summer sends her mystic haze O'er all these charming August days; On fields, she spreads a magic quilt Of gay embroidery built; A background there of darkest green -- Worked in flowers of lovely sheen -- Ironweed, sunflower and Queen Anne's lace -- Each one seems to have its place. Here and there a primrose late, Raises its head in gracious state, And the dusty highway winding Makes dark gray ribbon for the binding. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HUNTING PHEASANTS IN A CORNFIELD by ROBERT BLY THREE KINDS OF PLEASURES by ROBERT BLY QUESTION IN A FIELD by LOUISE BOGAN THE LAST MOWING by ROBERT FROST FIELD AND FOREST by RANDALL JARRELL AN EXPLANATION by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON IN FIELDS OF SUMMER by GALWAY KINNELL |
