DISCOVERY, by MAY HARRIS GRAY First Line: Down by the moss bank Last Line: I found the pulse of god. Subject(s): Flowers; God; Violets | ||||||||
Down by the moss bank Deep, so deep, I found a bed of violets Still half-asleep. I saw small petaled faces With wonder looking up; I saw bees drinking honey From every dewy cup. I found a tiny open tomb Deep beneath the sod; I found more than violets: I found the pulse of God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HEAVY VIOLETS by BARBARA GUEST THE YELLOW VIOLET by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT WAR IS KIND: 23 by STEPHEN CRANE SONNET by ALICE RUTH MOORE DUNBAR-NELSON HOW VIOLETS CAME BLUE by ROBERT HERRICK UNDER THE VIOLETS by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES THE FADED VIOLET by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH A BANJO SONG by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON |
