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...MY FAMILIAR by JOHN GODFREY SAXE THE FIFTEEN ACRES by JAMES STEPHENS TO A BIRCH TREE by KENNETH SLADE ALLING THE FOURFOLD ASPECT by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THE WERE-WOLVES by WILLIAM WILFRED CAMPBELL TWO MOODS by ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH |
