PROPOSAL, by ELIZABETH HODGES First Line: You will not know it, but I now have brought Last Line: And dwell there with me -- if for only a season. | |||
You will not know it, but I now have brought My two hands full of the deep purple pollen Of a blue aster, that crumbled and fell, And a spray of gray mint that the bluebirds have stolen. You will not see it, but when I came by, Out came the wind in a quick sudden flare, Touching my lips with a satiny touch, Hiding itself in the waves of my hair. I know a valley all golden and gleaming, Star-lit and vibrant, and breathing a reason You should come where the marsh grass is waving And dwell there with me -- if for only a season. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LEADEN-EYED by NICHOLAS VACHEL LINDSAY SONGS OF TRAVEL: 2.
