The shadowy hills Aloud chant together In audible crimson The high-born peaks Gleaming in the mournful redness Of that madman's eye -- The sun -- Declare their defiance Of their loneliness. And about them, In the steely desert of the sky Wander cloud camels, Red, Slow, And In the valleys below Under a twilight spell. The earth itself Enchanted Rests. And now Some secret poet of the soul, Find this winding stream all black, Flings upon it bosom The poem of a star. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BUCOLIC COMEDY: FLEECING TIME by EDITH SITWELL SONNET: THE HUMAN SEASONS by JOHN KEATS THE DESPAIRING LOVER by WILLIAM WALSH (1663-1707) ON SICK LEAVE, 1916 by HAMILTON FISH ARMSTRONG THREE SONGS OF LOVE (CHINESE FASHION): 2.
