THE DAHLIAS, by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER Poet's Biography
First Line: Scarlet and green, the dahlias
Last Line: That laughs at your pain.
Subject(s): Dahlias
First Line: Scarlet and green, the dahlias
Last Line: That laughs at your pain.
Subject(s): Dahlias
Scarlet and green, the dahlias
Topple over in their beds;
The rains of autumn pound their heads.
I am the rain that falls
Regardless,
Wishing to perish
In you.
And you are a scarlet dahlia
Holding your crushed and bleeding mouth
Up to the rain
That laughs at your pain.
