Subject(s): Delphiniums; Sonnet (as Literary Form)
Blue spires of thought! you are, delphiniums blue,
My aspirations. Dreams you symbolize --
The plans and deeds I rapturously devise.
My present feels the glamour of your hue;
My misty future's marked by you anew.
Breath-taking are your spires of Irish eyes
Or, paler blue, that always mesmerize
My thoughts and color every point of view.
The deep blue-blue of Blue Bird Glory speeds
My mind to air-plane swiftness, and I thrill
To reach sky-goal; the Belladonna's spray
Of China blue inclines to frivolous meeds
My plastic soul; the amethyst my will
Enforces for the straight and narrow way.
