Classic and Contemporary Poetry


IN MY ORANGE-GROVE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: ORBS OF AUTUMNAL BEAUTY, BREATHED TO LIGHT
Last Line: IN SPHERES OF GOLD.
Subject(s): ORANGES;

ORBS of Autumnal beauty, breathed to light
From blooms of May,
Rounded between the touch of lengthening night
And lessening day,
Flushed with the Summer fulness that the Spring
(Fair seer!) foretold,
The circle of three seasons compassing
In spheres of gold.
