QUEEN MOUNTAIN, by BLANCHE BROWNE BRYANT First Line: I marvel as you chameleonize Last Line: That's when I like you best. Subject(s): Mountains; Hills; Downs (great Britain) | ||||||||
I marvel as you chameleonize While you go passing by, Wearing long robes of varying hues, Your haloed head held high. I see your charm, when you dress in gray, And in the clouds and mist Your head hangs lowered in humble grief, Whose brow Sunlight has kissed. And when tears drop from your lashes green Along your ashen face And form into little rivulets Which look like Irish lace. Again, when you don your regal robes Of gold and purple light And march along in triumphant strides, You are a splendid sight. With your snow-capped head and dress of white You seem severe and cold; For those who know you intimately, Delightful charms you hold. But when in your autumnal glory The sun shines on your breast And the rouge is on your regal cheeks, That's when I like you best. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE CONTRA MORTEM: THE MOUNTAIN FASTNESS by HAYDEN CARRUTH GREEN MOUNTAIN IDYL by HAYDEN CARRUTH IF IT WERE NOT FOR YOU by HAYDEN CARRUTH COLLOQUE SENTIMENTAL by PAUL VERLAINE LINES WRITTEN AT THE GRAVE OF ALEXANDER DUMAS by GWENDOLYN B.
