WHITE NARCISSUS, by BONNIE DAY First Line: White narcissus in a vase Last Line: Of a tranquil interlude. Subject(s): Narcissus (plant) | |||
White narcissus in a vase Quietly pervades the room, Takes possession of a place, Utters syllables of bloom, Sifts a flower-scented grace Sweetly, subtly, into space, Weaves a song upon the loom Of the firelight and the gloom. White narcissus in a bowl Fits the music to the mood, Quite serenely takes control, Hushes care's insistent brood, Makes the wounded spirit whole, Feeds the hunger of the soul On the satisfying food Of a tranquil interlude. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LITTLE GIRL'S PRAYER by KATHERINE MANSFIELD HOW THE GREAT GUEST CAME by EDWIN MARKHAM THE LAWYER'S INVOCATION TO SPRING by HENRY HOWARD BROWNELL COMPLAINT OF THE ABSENCE OF HER LOVER BEING UPON THE SEA by HENRY HOWARD THE GOOD SHEPHERD by FELIX LOPE DE VEGA CARPIO UNDER THE SHADE OF THE TREES [MAY 10, 1863] by MARGARET JUNKIN PRESTON |
