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...PEACE ON EARTH by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON MEMORY OF APRIL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS EIGHT O'CLOCK by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN RHOECUS by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL DICK, A MAGGOT by JONATHAN SWIFT THE HEART OF THE WOMAN by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS TO MR.
