CHINESE SPRING, by ELIZABETH HARCOURT First Line: The moon of flowers is here Last Line: The moon of flowers is here! Subject(s): Moon; Spring | ||||||||
The Moon of Flowers is here, And there above the pool's jade depth Red lilies lift their heads To the musk-heavy air; In the cinnamon tree The misted moonlight hangs like incense, And a solitary nightingale sings sadly To the gold-eyed moon. The little breezes weep and sigh In the red willows, While the white poppies Drugged with sleep, Nod slowly to the jewelled night, -- The Moon of Flowers is here! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD LITTLE FEET by ELIZABETH HARCOURT |
