BUTTERFLY LAGOON, by RUTH E. DAY First Line: Oh winged lagoon, your waters spread Last Line: Oh winged lagoon! Subject(s): Lagoons | |||
Oh winged lagoon, your waters spread Beneath a sky where night has shed Her star-decked cloak and now, alas! Your wings are but a looking-glass To mirror colors over-head, When flaming dawn has visited Your limpid waters and has sped Across the sky a brilliant mass, Oh winged lagoon, Your waters in their winged bed Shall wake from sleep and dance instead, Oh butterfly amid the grass, Your sunflecked beauty shall surpass, For to the southern sun you're wed Oh winged lagoon! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BLACK SWANS ON THE MURRAY LAGOONS by WILLIAM SHARP MOONRISE ON THE VENETIAN LAGOONS by WILLIAM SHARP ABBOTT'S LAGOON by DENNIS SCHMITZ SWEET STAY-AT-HOME by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES SONNET TO MRS.
