ATAVISTIC, by PAULINE GARNER CURRAN First Line: Four walls for my body Last Line: Find the way back! | |||
Four walls for my body To shield me from the cold; Four walls for my thinking Lest I grow over bold. Outside foaming grasses And moon-frosted sea; Within, a vase of roses Trimmed to rigidity. I dare not cross the lintel Or open the least crack, For never could such running Find the way back! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SPARROW HARK IN THE RAIN (ALEXANDER STEPHENS HEARS NEWS) by EDGAR LEE MASTERS AN ESSAY ON MAN by ALEXANDER POPE EPIGRAM ON QUEEN CAROLINE'S DEATHBED by ALEXANDER POPE THE MEN BEHIND THE GUNS by JOHN JEROME ROONEY COLUMBUS [AUGUST 3, 1492] by JOHANN CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH VON SCHILLER INVITED GUESTS by FRANCES EKIN ALLISON THE SILVER BIRD OF HERNDYKE MILL by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN EARLY WINTER by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON GLIMPSES OF CHILDHOOD: 1.
