Thanks for the Wikipedia link on the river Gualdaquivir
Wonderful depiction of nature, but again at some points the word order of the verse seems to unusual.

"God's birdlet knows"."The Birdlet" by Alexander Pushkin.

I think the translations may have been either difficult or inaccurate. Enjoyed the freedom of the birdie, man's fate not so much in this instance.
"Hark to the waves that roll" - Achsa White Sprague; Hark To The Waves That Roll... https://www.litscape.com/author/Achs...That_Roll.html
Agree!
Melancholic waves that roll.

Surprised by this sad poem of comedian Molière!
"My tired hawse nickers for his own home bars;"."The Wind is Blowin'"
by Charles Badger Clark

I had used Molière's poem's L2 in a recent limerick and thought to share his poem in its entirety here :)
"A hoof clicks out a spark. / The dim creek flickers to the lonesome stars;" - Love these lines. I hadn't thought that a horses' hoof could start a spark, but yeah: another hazard here in the Gold Country which is also horse country. Enjoyed :)
"November winds were loud and high," - Achsa White Sprague; The Angel's Visit ... https://www.litscape.com/author/Achs...els_Visit.html
Glad that this gloomy story ended well. Seems to be a part of the bio of the poet herself! Is it already cold there or can people still go out?
"O lonesome sea-gull, floating far"."Sea-Birds by Elizabeth Akers
https://discoverpoetry.com/poems/poems-about-home/
The sea-gull searching, "vainly" seeking rest while out to sea in parallel with a human's soul at the end of the poem also being queried "Where is thy mate, and where thy nest?" - the word thy here being the only italicized word in the poem. Enjoyed :)
"Pale in the east a filmy moon" - Herbert Bates; The Pioneers... https://discoverpoetry.com/poems/poems-about-the-west/
Didn't like so much the classical manicheistic representation of the Indians as enemies and the white men as victims.

Enjoyed :) A bit of background on Auden to perhaps get a better insight into his "Funeral Blues" https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2018/...nius-w-h-auden
The antithesis of todays Super Moon (the Cold Moon) perhaps...
"The moon is tired and old;" - Celia Thaxter; The Waning Moon... https://www.litscape.com/author/Celi...ning_Moon.html
Interesting informations about Auden, thanks. I didn't know that he was married to Erika Mann. And taken out of context the poem has a different meaning as originally intended.
Moons get tired too.
