WHITE NARCISSUS, by BONNIE DAY First Line: White narcissus in a vase Last Line: Of a tranquil interlude. Subject(s): Narcissus (plant) | |||
White narcissus in a vase Quietly pervades the room, Takes possession of a place, Utters syllables of bloom, Sifts a flower-scented grace Sweetly, subtly, into space, Weaves a song upon the loom Of the firelight and the gloom. White narcissus in a bowl Fits the music to the mood, Quite serenely takes control, Hushes care's insistent brood, Makes the wounded spirit whole, Feeds the hunger of the soul On the satisfying food Of a tranquil interlude. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SONG OF THE MAD WOMAN'S SON by KAREN SWENSON THE YANKEE'S RETURN FROM CAMP [JUNE, 1775] by EDWARD BANGS WINTER NIGHT by CH'IEN WEN OF LIANG THE THRUSH'S NEST by JOHN CLARE THE FLOWER OF FINAE by THOMAS OSBORNE DAVIS |
