Poetry examples for “bugle”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

To sleep when the bugle is crying
And cravens have heard and are brave,

. Westward on the high-hilled plains .
. Far I hear the bugle blow
. You smile upon your friend to-day

"Far I hear the bugle blow
To call me where I would not go,

And you will list the bugle
That blows in lands of morn,

"Hark, I heard the bugle crying,
And where am I?

Under a foreign clod,"
Were the words I made to the bugle call in the
morning.

THE new moon hangs like an ivory bugle
In the naked frosty blue;

Crowd down upon a stream, and jostling thick
With bubbles bugle-eyed, struggle and stick
On.tangled shoals that bar the brook a crowd

Ere the earliest peep of morn
Blew King Olaf's bugle-horn;
And forever sundered ride

The drum-beat repeated o'er and o'er,
And the bugle wild and shrill.
And the music of that old song
