LAVINA, by EDGAR BARRATT First Line: Where rippling waters curl around Last Line: And she is kind again. | |||
Where rippling waters curl around Moss-covered stones in woodland glade Lavina bathes her fairy self And, grim, Resists my wish to aid. Along the curving tree-draped shore We romp and shout with noisy glee Until her wish for fighting's o'er. She runs, And then is kind to me. Then sunlight flecks her springing breasts, Taut curves, that rollick through my brain, My head on Nature's pillow rests. We laugh, And she is kind again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SOLILOQUIES OF A SMALL-TOWN TAXI-DRIVER: ON THE WRITING OF POETRY by EDGAR BARRATT SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: THE VILLAGE ATHEIST by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THERE WILL BE STARS by SARA TEASDALE EPISTLE TO WILLIAM SIMPSON OF OCHILTREE by ROBERT BURNS VICTOR GALBRAITH by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE FALL OF RICHMOND [APRIL, 1865] by HERMAN MELVILLE THE HOUND OF HEAVEN by FRANCIS THOMPSON LINES WRITTEN ON THE DEATH OF MRS.
