MARKET DAY; SONNET, by AMY LOWELL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: White, glittering sunlight fills the market square
Last Line: Quenching the square in vibrant harmony.
First Line: White, glittering sunlight fills the market square
Last Line: Quenching the square in vibrant harmony.
White, glittering sunlight fills the market square,
Spotted and sprigged with shadows. Double rows
Of bartering booths spread out their tempting shows
Of globed and golden fruit, the morning air
Smells sweet with ripeness, on the pavement there
A wicker basket gapes and led, carved and buttressed;
through the wide
Arched doorway peals an organ, suddenly --
Crashing, triumphant in its pregnant tide,
Quenching the square in vibrant harmony.
