LILIES OF WHITE, by UNNUR BENEDIKTDOTTIR First Line: Lilies of white in a noon-day dream Last Line: With wonder and prayer and yearning. Alternate Author Name(s): Hulda | |||
LILIES of white in a noon-day dream Lift lashes of wondering eyes, And breathe their scent at my window-sill Like a lover's passionate sighs. I sit and gaze at the summer light In the violet heavens burning -- And think of an eye that is lit for me With wonder and prayer and yearning. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GETTING A PURCHASE by KAREN SWENSON THE SWAN AND THE GOOSE by AESOP INCIDENT OF THE FRENCH CAMP by ROBERT BROWNING AN INTERNATIONAL EPISODE (1889) by CAROLINE KING DUER TO MY FATHER by WILLIAM SYDNEY GRAHAM A SONG TO MITHRAS by RUDYARD KIPLING |
