A FRESHET, by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM First Line: O hotspur torrent, crested high in air Last Line: A bastard from a lawful stream full well. | |||
OHOTSPUR torrent, crested high in air, Why do you cut in twain a traveller's road? No lucent wave fit for the Nymphs you bear, Drunk with your drawings from a thunder-cloud; I'll see you shrivel yet -- the sun can tell A bastard from a lawful stream full well. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ONCE IN A WAY by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM THE OLD FERRYMAN by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM THE DOLL BELIEVERS by CLARENCE MAJOR BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON CITIZEN OF THE WORLD by ALFRED JOYCE KILMER THE DYING SWAN by THOMAS STURGE MOORE IN PROGRESS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI WHISPERS OF HEAVENLY DEATH by WALT WHITMAN |
