SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 116, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: I know how the great and golden sun Last Line: In the wonderful hills of sleep. Subject(s): Sun; Moon | |||
I know how the great and golden sun Will come up out of the sea, Stride in to shore And up to her door, To touch her hand and her hair, With so much more than a man can say, Bidding Yvonne good day. I know how the great and quiet moon Will come up out of the sea, And climb the hill To her window-sill And enter all silently, And lie on her little cot so white, Kissing Yvonne good night. I know how the great and countless stars Will come up out of the sea, To keep their guard By her still door yard, Lest the soul of Yvonne should stray And be lost for ever there by the deep, In the wonderful hills of sleep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN THE MOON AND THE SPECTATOR by LEONIE ADAMS FULL MOON by KARLE WILSON BAKER NO MORE OF THE MOON by MORRIS GILBERT BISHOP THE DEPARTURE by DENISE LEVERTOV THE MOON IN GREECE by TIMOTHY LIU A MORE ANCIENT MARINER by BLISS CARMAN |
