The Pool
Cale Young Rice
1872 to 1943
'what has fallen into my heart?'
Said the pool.
(It was the sky.)
'Blue it is, and very cool,
Blue and brave and beautiful;
And never a ripple waving from it
Makes me sigh.'
'What has fallen into my heart?'
Came again.
(It was the stars.)
' Purple followed the blue, and then
Softly—though I knew not when—
Twinklings of gold, dropping silently
Through night's bars.'
Cale Young Rice's The Pool
I am busy working to bring Cale Young Rice's "The Pool" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Cale Young Rice's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Pool" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
