NOCTURNE, by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR First Line: All the earth a hush of white Last Line: And . . . Your breast. Subject(s): Love; Winter | |||
All the earth a hush of white, White with moonlight all the skies; Wonder of a winter night -- And . . . your eyes. Hues no palette dares to claim Where the spoils of sunken ships Leap to light in singing flame -- And . . . your lips. Darkness as the shadows creep Where the embers sigh to rest; Silence of a world asleep -- And . . . your breast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOOKING EAST IN THE WINTER by JOHN HOLLANDER WINTER DISTANCES by FANNY HOWE WINTER FORECAST by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN AT WINTER'S EDGE by JUDY JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 34 by JAMES JOYCE A LYNMOUTH WIDOW by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR |
