When the elephant's-ear in the park When the elephant's-ear in the park Shriveled in frost, Shriveled in frost, And the leaves on the paths And the leaves on the paths Ran like rats, Ran like rats, Your lamplight fell Your lamplight fell On shining pillows, On shining pillows, Of sea-shades and sky-shades, Of sea-shades and sky-shades, Like umbrellas in Java. Like umbrellas in Java. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHILD'S PRAYER [OR, HYMN] by MATILDA BARBARA BETHAM-EDWARDS WORD-PORTRAITS: THE DESCRIPTION OF SIR GEOFFREY CHAUCER by ROBERT GREENE TO JOHN DONNE (2) by BEN JONSON TO THE NIGHTINGALE by JOHN MILTON SONNET: 66 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE AT GIBRALTAR by GEORGE EDWARD WOODBERRY ABBEY ASAROE by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM |
