Poet Analysis

First Line: I DREAMT I CAUGHT A LITTLE OWL
Last Line: BLOOMED BENEATH THE SUN.'
'I DREAMT I caught a little owl
And the bird was blue --'

'But you may hunt for ever
And not find such an one.'

'I dreamt I set a sunflower,
And red as blood it grew --'

'But such a sunflower never
Bloomed beneath the sun.'
