BY CANDLELIGHT, by MARION BRINSON First Line: Flicker-flicker Last Line: With golden benediction. | ||||||||
Flicker-flicker Sharp blows a gust And our little yellow blades Stream red from side to side And flare and fall -- While strange figures of shade and light Dance arcross the tablecloth, Slide over plates and urn, Glint over fingernails, Deepen expression, Smooth away wrinkles, Soften outline And touch bowed heads With golden benediction. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HEART'S FIRST WORD (2) by ISAAC ROSENBERG TO A DARK GIRL by GWENDOLYN B.
