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...A TRAMPWOMAN'S TRAGEDY by THOMAS HARDY ON BEING BROUGHT FROM AFRICA TO AMERICA by PHILLIS WHEATLEY BLOOD ON THE WHEEL by ALEXANDER ANDERSON PARLIAMENT OF WOMEN: PRAXAGORA REHEARSES by ARISTOPHANES SONNET ON MOOR PARK: WRITTEN AT PARIS, MAY 10, 1825 by SAMUEL EGERTON BRYDGES INSCRIPTION ON A GOBLET by ROBERT BURNS |
