RONDEAU. AT Eastertide, in gown of blue, And dainty bonnet, neat and new, With downcast eye whose fringed lid A sunny sky of azure hid, Across the aisle sat merry Prue. Above the crimson-cushioned pew I watched her as the moments flew, And wondered if she knew I did, At Eastertide. The sunlight poured the oriel through; I envied what it dared to do, -- To clasp her fingers clad in kid, And hold and kiss them unforbid. I'll take the hint, -- pray, wouldn't you, At Eastertide? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EASTER EVE by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON EASTER SUNDAY by LUCILLE CLIFTON GOD SEND EASTER by LUCILLE CLIFTON NOT THE CUCKOLD'S DREAM; FOR SAM PEREIRA by NORMAN DUBIE EASTER HYMN by GEORGE SANTAYANA I DEFINE THE DARKNESS CORRECT: THE FESTIVAL OF THE FRERES LUMIERES by ELENI SIKELIANOS SPANISH EASTER: 1926 by CONRAD AIKEN THE POET (2) by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
