FLOWER OF QUINCE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Three quince trees dance, a windy row
Last Line: Jesus and two thieves.
Subject(s): Crucifixion; Jesus Christ - Crucifixion


Three quince trees dance, a windy row,
Pierrot, Pierrette and Harlequin, --
But under the viels of scented snow
I see Puck's jagged grin.

Three quince trees, -- pollened and honey-sweet, --
But under the bloom and leaves
I see nailed hands and bleeding feet, --
Jesus and two thieves.
