And the stars above Seemed like pearls to be In an ocean of Lapis lazuli. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ILLINOIS FARMER by CARL SANDBURG ODE FOR MEMORIAL DAY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE CUMBERLAND [MARCH 8, 1862] by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE FLIGHT OF THE GODDESS by CELIA THAXTER WHEN KREISLER PLAYS by FRANCES BARTLETT ENTERTAINMENT by JOSEPH BEAUMONT |
