MILADY KNITS, by OPAL BLAISDELL LENOX First Line: Milady, at the open window, sits Last Line: And world -- you must not hear milady swear! Subject(s): Knitting | |||
Milady, at the open window, sits With countenance serene and look demure, Her downcast eyes contributing allure. The blush upon her cheek that glows and flits, Adds glamour that demoralizes wits; And waning sun with touch so light and sure, Makes of her hair a golden halo pure. But modestly, Milady simply knits, Intent upon the swiftly rhythmic flash Of gleaming needles that is never stopped -- While world and I adore her beauty fair. But now I rise and quickly close the sash, For I have noted that a stitch is dropped, And World -- you must not hear Milady swear! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WEE KNITTER by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN KNITTING by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES KNITTING by MARY TUCKER LAMBERT SONG OF A SEABOOT STOCKING by O.
