THE STROLLER, by DERRICK NORMAN LEHMER Poet's Biography First Line: A wind came wandering up the street Last Line: I think she got a kiss from him! | |||
A wind came wandering up the street, And all the flowers made friends with him: And every tree he chanced to meet Was happy to shake hands with him. And every loving mother tree Her little leaves held out to him: They laughed and clapped their hands in glee And seemed to crow and shout to him. Full many a roguish little bloom As he went by would laugh at him; While one old witch-tree, like a broom, Cackled, and shook her staff at him. But wistful violet, in the grass No one expected this from him When she glanced up to see him pass, I think she got a kiss from him! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MILITARISM by DERRICK NORMAN LEHMER RICHES by DERRICK NORMAN LEHMER WHAT THEY ASK by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS SALOME by GUILLAUME APOLLINAIRE WINGS AT DAWN by JOSEPH AUSLANDER SONGS OF NIGHT TO MORNING: 5 by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF A RIVER by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT A MOTHER'S SONG by FRIEDA MARTINI BUCHEN THE BUFFALO TRAIL by CHARLES BADGER CLARK JR. |
