GLASS DISPLAY, by S. ELIZABETH WHITE First Line: See how the sunlight lingers on the rim Last Line: These testimonies writ in shining glass. | |||
See how the sunlight lingers on the rim Of this blown rose-jar like a golden kiss, And how this tall white vase is like a hymn Of quietude of soul, and strength, and bliss. Gaze in the frosty depths of this blue bowl Where all the mysteries of sea and sky Are mirrored wistfully: then, if man's soul Is withering in its house and like to die, Read me the answer how have come to pass These testimonies writ in shining glass. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HOUSEKEEPER by CHARLES LAMB THE FLITCH OF BACON: MY OLD COMPLAINT (ITS CAUSE AND CURE) by WILLIAM HARRISON AINSWORTH LEISTON ABBEY by BERNARD BARTON THE FOUR ZOAS: NIGHTS THE FIFTH AND SIXTH by WILLIAM BLAKE ASSASSINS by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT CONSOLATION by STANLEY KILNER BOOTH |
