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...NIGHT PIECE (2) by EDITH SITWELL A BIRTHDAY by LOUIS UNTERMEYER FANCY IN NUBIBUS; OR, THE POET IN THE CLOUDS by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE ON DONNE'S POETRY by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE INQUEST by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES THE DEBT by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR |
