CATTLE, by LORI PETRI First Line: I learned how glowingly god shields Last Line: He pondered them upon his palm. | |||
I learned how glowingly God shields Even the creatures of the fields. When cloud dulled all the high hill land, Their pasture, hollow as a hand Against the sky, shone gold with sun. And there, remotely, one by one They clung, as though, in luminous calm, He pondered them upon His palm. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LUNAR COMPULSION by LORI PETRI MY MOTHER LEFT ME by KAREN SWENSON REMEMBRANCE by EMILY JANE BRONTE HYMN TO THE NIGHT by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE QUAKER GRAVEYARD by SILAS WEIR MITCHELL WAR AND WASHINGTON by JONATHAN MITCHELL SEWALL A NYMPH TO A YOUNG SHEPHERD, INSENSIBLE OF LOVE by PHILIP AYRES LILIES: 1.
