FOR THE NEW YEAR, by CAROLINE MAXWELL LEE First Line: The turn of the year Last Line: Of devotion. Subject(s): Holidays; New Year | ||||||||
The turn of the year Pulls, like the tide, From the depths. May it cast at your feet Anemone, agate, pearl, Coral and aquamarine, Sea-flower, sand of gold, Iridescence of shell, Opal of rainbow mist, Nugget of garnet and green. When you have gathered these, You will know the measure I use When I send you gifts Of devotion. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NEW YEAR'S POEM by MARGARET AVISON A SPEED OF HISTORY by MARGARET AVISON NEW YEAR'S DAY by DAVID LEHMAN LINES FOR THE NEW YEAR by JULIE CARR I AM RUNNING INTO A NEW YEAR by LUCILLE CLIFTON FOR THE NEW YEAR (2) by ROBERT CREELEY STRUCTURE by CAROLINE MAXWELL LEE |
