Poets have many tools that they can
use to create their poems. The one
you might be most familiar with is
the effect of sound. When words are
spoken aloud, they have lots of great
sound qualities that poets can
incorporate into their poems.

"Heaven" has different Signs—

to me—
Sometimes, I think that Noon
Is but a symbol of the Place—
And when again, at Dawn,

A mighty look runs round the

World
And settles in the Hills—
An Awe if it should be like that
Upon the Ignorance steals—

The Orchard, when the Sun is

on—
The Triumph of the Birds
When they together Victory
make—
