Summer Song
Wanderer moon
smiling a
faintly ironical smile
at this
brilliant, dew-moistened
summer morning,—
a detached
sleepily indifferent
smile, a
wanderer's smile,—
if I should
buy a shirt
your color and
put on a necktie
sky-blue
where would they carry me?
Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.

Who wrote the poem "Blizzard"?
William Carlos Williams (September 17, 1883 – March 4, 1963)
William Carlos Williams was an American poet, writer, and physician. As a family doctor and leading poet of Imagist movement, he practiced medicine by day and wrote at night. He was known for his experimental and innovative poetic style while maintaining a remarkably conventional life.
Summer Song
This poem is a reflection on the beauty of
a summer morning and the wanderlust that it inspires. The moon is personified
as a wanderer, and its smile is described as faintly ironical and detached. The
poet wonders if wearing colors that reflect the beauty of the morning would
take him to new places.
William Carlos Williams was not only a poet
but also a practicing physician. He often wrote poetry in between seeing
patients. His medical career influenced his poetry, as he was deeply interested
in observing the details of everyday life, which is evident in the precise
imagery of "Summer Song".
