James Whitcomb Riley - A Noon IntervalJames Whitcomb Riley - A Noon Interval
Work rating: Low


A deep, delicious hush in earth and sky      A gracious lull—since, from its wakening,      The morn has been a feverish, restless thing   In which the pulse of Summer ran too high   And riotous, as though its heart went nigh      To bursting with delights past uttering:      Now—as an o`erjoyed child may cease to sing All falteringly at play, with drowsy eye      Draining the pictures of a fairy-tale   To brim his dreams with—there comes o`er the day      A loathful silence wherein all sounds fail   Like loitering sounds of some roundelay . . .      No wakeful effort longer may avail   The wand waves, and the dozer sinks away.
