THE BELL-BRANCH, by JAMES HENRY COUSINS First Line: Shoheen, sho-lo: birds are homeward winging Last Line: And the streams of quiet flow.' | |||
SHOHEEN, sho-lo: Birds are homeward winging. Shoheen, sho-lo: Herdsmen on the hills are singing: 'Short the night, and long the day, Come, ye weary flocks away: Folded in deep shadows drowse, And on long sweet grasses browse Where the murmuring waters flow.' Shoheen, sho-lo: Hark, the Bell-branch ringing. Shoheen, sho-lo: Danaans from the hills are singing: 'Time is old, and earth is grey -- Come, ye weary ones, away, Where, with white, untroubled brows The Immortals dream and drowse, And the streams of quiet flow.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE AWAKENING by JAMES HENRY COUSINS THE COMING OF NIAMH by JAMES HENRY COUSINS THE WINGS OF LOVE by JAMES HENRY COUSINS THAT KIND OF POEM' by KAREN SWENSON CORIDON'S SONG (IN ISAAK WALTON'S 'COMPLEAT ANGLER') by JOHN CHALKHILL THE ERL-KING by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE MY LADY'S PLEASURE by ROBERT GRAHAM THE ENEMY'S PORTRAIT by THOMAS HARDY FIREFLY; A SONG by ELIZABETH MADOX ROBERTS ODE ON THE DEATH OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON by ALFRED TENNYSON |
