SUNSET, by HILDA CONKLING Poet's Biography First Line: Once upon a time at evening-light Last Line: Of this little girl. | |||
ONCE upon a time at evening-light A little girl was sad. There was a color in the sky, A color she knew in her dreamful heart And wanted to keep. She held out her arms Long, long, And saw it flow away on the wind. When it was gone She did not love the moonlight Or care for the stars. She had seen the rose in the sky. Sometimes I am sad Because I have a thought Of this little girl. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LITTLE SNAIL by HILDA CONKLING A THING FORGOTTEN by HILDA CONKLING ABOUT MY DREAMS by HILDA CONKLING BIRD OF PARADISE by HILDA CONKLING BUTTERFLY (1) by HILDA CONKLING |
