THE ROAD TO CAMULOS, by MARGARET R. RICHTER First Line: The road that sun-swept april noon Last Line: Along my road. | |||
The road that sun-swept April noon Was inland bound, Lost to the whispering sea and dune, Aloof to sound. Behind, the granite range broke through A hesitant mist; The mountain-blue and lupine-blue Made amethyst. The lupine-blue ran all the way To Camulos, Where only the wood-dove, white and gray As a shadow, goes. Past lupine-blue and orange scent, Wistaria sheaves Hung wistfully as time long-spent From low long eaves. I came down eucalyptus shade, A passer-by; I heard, through golden light there laid, A peacock cry. He called; he stepped upon the scene -- Strange episode -- One moment drew his train of green Along my road. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FEAR-RIDDEN by MARGARET R.
