IMPRESSIONS OF BERMUDA, by MADELINE BENEDICT FOSTER First Line: Beautiful bermuda, sunny, sleepy isle Last Line: And resting for a time, in some sweet dell. Subject(s): Bermuda | |||
Beautiful Bermuda, sunny, sleepy isle, High winds across white sands, bright purple seas, Colors of the rainbow hover o'er your leas, Within a sea of restfulness you sit, in gracious style. The gorgeous hues of flowers astound one, mile on mile; The limestone caves appall one, there one sees Long candlesticks in opalescent frieze; The clop, clop, clop of horses passes, while The quiet whirring by of bicycles, Past gardens, cedars, pines, hibiscus red, Stirs in us hope that sometime we may dwell, And ride luxuriously beyond the hills, Watching the pure white wells, by Heaven fed, And resting for a time, in some sweet dell. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MARCHIONESS DOWAGER OF D--LL; FROM BERMUDA, JANUARY, 1804 by THOMAS MOORE BERMUDA SUITE by WINFIELD TOWNLEY SCOTT BATTLE OF THE SUMMER ISLANDS by EDMUND WALLER ULYSSES AND THE SIREN by SAMUEL DANIEL AT BETHLEHEM: 3.
