Looking for a sunset bird in winter. Robert Frost

The west was getting out of gold,

the breath of air had died of cold,

when shoeing home across the white,

I thought I saw a bird alight.

In summer when I passed the place

I had to stop and lift my face;

A bird with an angelic gift

was singing in it sweet and swift.

No bird was singing in it now.

A single leaf was on a bough,

and that was all there was to see

in going twice around the tree.

From my advantage on a hill

I judged that such a Crystal chill

was only adding frost to snow

as gilt to gold that wouldn’t show.

A brush had left a crooked stroke

of what was either cloud or smoke

from north to south across the blue;

a piercing little star was through.

Very moving. Poetry always reminds me of my Mum, who had learnt reams at school and could recite lots of it all through her life. Thank you.

[Rachmaninov2 in reply to Hidden]

Glad you liked it Bacharia, and that it brought back fond memories of your Mum. 🙂
