NOON AND NIGHT FLOWER, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Not any flower that blows Last Line: Lifts her dim torch to light that dreaming face. Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter | ||||||||
Not any flower that blows But shining watch doth keep; Every swift changing chequered hour it knows Now to break forth in beauty; now to sleep. This for the roving bee Keeps open house, and this Stainless and clear is, that in darkness she May lure the moth to where her nectar is. Lovely beyond the rest Are these of all delight: -- The tiny pimpernel that noon loves best, The primrose palely burning through the night. One 'neath day's burning sky With ruby decks her place, The other when eve's chariot glideth by Lifts her dim torch to light that dreaming face. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ARABIA by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BUNCHES OF GRAPES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ECHO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ENGLAND (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FARE WELL by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FIVE EYES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
