The Mirror Poem by Alan Alexander Milne

The Mirror

Rating: 5.0


Between the woods the afternoon
Its fallen in a golden swoon,
The sun looks down from quiet skies
To where a quiet water lies,
And silent trees stoop down to the trees.
And there I saw a white swan make
Another white swan in the lake;
And, breast to breast, both motionless,
They waited for the wind's caress. . .
And all the water was at ease.

I think I will fall in a golden swoon about the beauty of the reflections in this poem.
