Explore "Meeting in Summer" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A tranquil bar / Of rosy twilight under dusk's first star.
A glimmering sound / Of whispering waters over grassy ground.
A sun-sweet smell / Of fresh-reaped hay from dewy field and dell.
A lazy breeze / Jostling the ripeness from the apple-trees.
A vibrant cry, / Passing, then gone, of bullbats in the sky.
And faintly now / The katydid upon the shadowy bough.
And far-off then / The little owl within the lonely glen.
And soon, full soon, / The silvery arrival of the moon.
And, to your door, / The path of roses I have trod before.
And, sweetheart, you! / Among the roses and the moonlit dew.
