DAYBREAK, by LEONA FISCHER-BOHNERT First Line: A weeping willow sweeps the lake Last Line: The rain walks softly on the roof. | |||
A weeping willow sweeps the lake Of mid-night stars -- across its wake A scarlet maple sheds her name On golden sisters tinged with flame, And far away among the leaves A purple temple's pleated eaves Stand in the dusk alone, aloof: The rain walks softly on the roof. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FATHER WILLIAM [QUESTIONED], FR.
