SO delicate, so airy, The almond on the tree, Pink stars that some good fairy Has made for you and me. A little cloud of roses, All in a world of grey, The almond flower uncloses Upon the wild March day. A mist of roses blowing The way of fog and sleet, A dust of roses showing For grey dust in the street. Pink snow upon the branches, Pink snowflakes falling down In rosy avalanches Upon the dreary town. A rain, a shower of roses, All in a roseless day; The almond-tree uncloses Her roses on the grey. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE VAMPIRE by RUDYARD KIPLING THE TAY BRIDGE DISEASTER by WILLIAM MCGONAGALL IMAGES: 6 by RICHARD ALDINGTON THE FOUR ZOAS: NIGHTS THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH by WILLIAM BLAKE LOVE AFTER SORROW by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT RETURN CREEPING by CLARISSA BUCKLIN |
