Your spirit goes in pearl and rose— A winsome aura, Heart Most Dear— Love flows from lips and fingertips In gracious contacts sweet and near. And when its hue is royal blue You wear its cloud with regal mien; In vapors kissed by amethyst You walk alluring and serene. Or if you wear in veil and hair A shining amber's sunny ray, Carefree content and merriment And lovesome laughter fill the day. You glow in blue or coral hue, You gleam when gold your soul is drest, But when it goes in pearl and rose That's when I love your spirit best. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ESSAY: AT NIGHT THE AUTOPORTRAIT AT NIGHT by ELENI SIKELIANOS THE PHILOSOPHER by EMILY JANE BRONTE TO THE LAPLAND LONGSPUR by JOHN BURROUGHS RELIGION by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR OLD POETS by ALFRED JOYCE KILMER THE AFFECTIONATE SHEPHERD; OR COMPLAINT OF DAPHNIS by RICHARD BARNFIELD |
