NO fragrance of the early months, when earth Teems with the pledge of after-blossoming, No May day scents of bud and leaf, no morn Of June rose-regal -- none of these have worth For sweetness of the savor they do bring Compared with that rich incense swift upborne By saintly prayers unto God's very face -- Soul emanations, odors mixed with grace, Perfumed and perfect for that heavenly place. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BROKEN BALANCE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SUBJECTED EARTH by ROBINSON JEFFERS GEOMETAPHYSICS by MARGARET AVISON NIAGARA by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SOPHISTICATION by CONRAD AIKEN I SEE CHILE IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR by AGHA SHAHID ALI WASHING OUR HANDS OF THE REST OF AMERICA by MARVIN BELL THE EARTH IS A LIVING THING by LUCILLE CLIFTON BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
