LIFE'S LITTLE DAY, by MARY BALL ARMSTRONG First Line: Over the misty hills at evening time Last Line: Coolness, and quiet, and a lonely cry. | |||
Over the misty hills at evening-time, In level light, a golden stillness falls; Out of the reeds beside the sleeping stream Tremulous, faint, a wandering night-bird calls. The flaming red of morning led to this; Ended in this, the threatening, stormy sky; It was for this, the long hours' heat and strife, Coolness, and quiet, and a lonely cry. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DISDAIN RETURNED by THOMAS CAREW HYMN TO THE FLOWERS by HORACE SMITH EDITHA by MATILDA BARBARA BETHAM-EDWARDS PSALM 130 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE IN VINCULIS; SONNETS WRITTEN IN AN IRISH PRISON: THE COURT OF PENANCE by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT EARLY VENEZIAN DETAIL by GORDON BOTTOMLEY FUTILITY (FOR THE INFORMATION OF PENOLOGISTS AND SOCIOLOGISTS) by DANTE CACICI TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 3.
