THE PRICE, by EMMA J. BEASLEY First Line: I painted a picture in gladness Last Line: Was the blood from a broken heart. Subject(s): Beauty; Hearts; Paintings & Painters | |||
I painted a picture in gladness And goodly it looked to me, But the beauty in it that thrilled me, Alas! the world could not see. I painted a picture in sadness And the whole world called it art, But the color I used to paint it Was the blood from a broken heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...1801: AMONG THE PAPERS OF THE ENVOY TO CONSTANTINOPLE by RICHARD HOWARD VENETIAN INTERIOR, 1889 by RICHARD HOWARD THERE IS A GOLD LIGHT IN CERTAIN OLD PAINTINGS by DONALD JUSTICE DUTCH INTERIORS by JANE KENYON INVITATION TO A PAINTER: 3 by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM THE CHINA PAINTERS by TED KOOSER ELEGY FOR SOL LEWITT by ANN LAUTERBACH ON THE SEPARATION OF ADAM AND EVE by TIMOTHY LIU DOMESDAY BOOK: JANE FISHER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
