I FLECK of sky you are, Dropped through branches dark, O my little one, mine! Promise of the star, Outpour of the lark; Beam and song divine. II See this precious gift, Steeping in new birth All my being, for sign Earth to heaven can lift, Heaven descend on earth, Both in one be mine! III Life in light you glass When you peep and coo, You, my little one, mine! Brooklet chirps to grass, Daisy looks in dew Up to dear sunshine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ASSUNPINK AND PRINCETON [JANUARY 3, 1777] by THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH THE LAY OF THE LABOURER by THOMAS HOOD EPIGRAM: TO FOOL, OR KNAVE by BEN JONSON PARADISE LOST: BOOK 4 by JOHN MILTON THE LOVE OF GOD by ELIZA SCUDDER DOT LONG-HANDLED DIPPER by CHARLES FOLLEN ADAMS MY SON'S SON TO HIS SON'S SON - PERHAPS by MABEL RUTHERFORD BRIDGES |
