THE Archer is wake! The Swan is flying! Gold against blue An Arrow is lying. There is hunting in heaven -- Sleep safe till to-morrow. The Bears are abroad! The Eagle is screaming! Gold against blue Their eyes are gleaming! Sleep! Sleep safe till to-morrow. The Sisters lie With their arms intertwining; Gold against blue Their hair is shining! The Serpent writhes! Orion is listening! Gold against blue His sword is glistening! Sleep! There is hunting in heaven -- Sleep safe till to-morrow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CEMETERY BY THE SEA by PAUL VALERY THE LISBON PACKET by GEORGE GORDON BYRON A CLEVER WOMAN by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE DAY AND NIGHT by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH HER ANSWER by JOHN BENNETT (1865-1956) ENGLAND'S PRAYER by WILLIAM BLUNDELL A SONNET FOR THE EARTH by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH |
