THE STROLLER, by DERRICK NORMAN LEHMER Poet's Biography First Line: A wind came wandering up the street Last Line: I think she got a kiss from him! | |||
A wind came wandering up the street, And all the flowers made friends with him: And every tree he chanced to meet Was happy to shake hands with him. And every loving mother tree Her little leaves held out to him: They laughed and clapped their hands in glee And seemed to crow and shout to him. Full many a roguish little bloom As he went by would laugh at him; While one old witch-tree, like a broom, Cackled, and shook her staff at him. But wistful violet, in the grass— No one expected this from him— When she glanced up to see him pass, I think she got a kiss from him! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MILITARISM by DERRICK NORMAN LEHMER RICHES by DERRICK NORMAN LEHMER TO WILLIAM WORDSWORTH by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE A FAREWELL [TO C.E.G.] by CHARLES KINGSLEY SONNET: 25 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE THE SHEPHEARDES CALENDER: AUGUST by EDMUND SPENSER IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: EPILOGUE by ALFRED TENNYSON A LAMENT FOR PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN |
