NOW the violet blooms again; Blooms the lover of the rain, The jonquil; blooms on every hill the upland-roaming daffodil. And now the favourite flower of Love, Flower of spring, all flowers above, In bloom perfected sweetly blows -- Zenophile, persuasion's rose. Meadows of your tresses fain, You brightly laugh, but laugh in vain; How sweet soe'er your posies be, Far more excellent is she. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVITATION (TO TOM HUGHES) by CHARLES KINGSLEY THE SPELL OF THE YUKON by ROBERT WILLIAM SERVICE CUSTER'S LAST CHARGE [JUNE 25, 1876] by FREDERICK WHITTAKER GRECIAN KINDNESS: A SONG by JOHN WILMOT FRAGMENTS INTENDED FOR DEATH'S JEST-BOOK: MURDERER'S HAUNTED COUCH by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES |
