Pomegranates in a window, red as Pelee's flame -- Pomegranates in New England, passionate as shame. Peacock palm-trees slanting through an opal haze -- Cream meharis laden as in Sheba's days -- Abyssinian nautch-girls with tempting amber feet -- Jeweled cobras dancing in the latticed street -- Coal-black eunuchs chattering, naked as a faun -- Scimitars and passion, sudden as the dawn. Pomegranates in a window, flaming through the sleet -- Sandalwood and desert dominate the street. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EPISTLE TO SIR ROBERT WALPOLE (1) by HENRY FIELDING ODE ON THE SPRING by THOMAS GRAY MOONRISE IN THE ROCKIES by ELLA (RHOADS) HIGGINSON THE WALKER OF THE SNOW by CHARLES DAWSON SHANLY A VINDICATION by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) LILIES: 26.
