DEW, by WINIFRED LUCAS First Line: Love is the flower of the world Last Line: The dust of the world like dew. Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs. Subject(s): Flowers; Love | ||||||||
LOVE is the flower of the world, And the flower of the world lies sick; So dry are its leaves, and curled, The dust of the world so thick. Come into my sight, my dear, Its withering joy renew; Drop into my heart, and clear The dust of the world like dew. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
