LILIES OF WHITE, by UNNUR BENEDIKTDOTTIR First Line: Lilies of white in a noon-day dream Last Line: With wonder and prayer and yearning. Alternate Author Name(s): Hulda | |||
LILIES of white in a noon-day dream Lift lashes of wondering eyes, And breathe their scent at my window-sill Like a lover's passionate sighs. I sit and gaze at the summer light In the violet heavens burning -- And think of an eye that is lit for me With wonder and prayer and yearning. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TEN COMMANDMENTS by GEORGE SANTAYANA TO FLUSH, MY DOG by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING SONGS OF LABOR: DEDICATION by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER NOONDAY REST by MATHILDE BLIND EPITAPH FOR GAVIN HAMILTON by ROBERT BURNS WASHING SHEEP IN VERMONT by DANIEL LEAVENS CADY TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 3.
