GOLDEN CASSIA, by SAROJINI NAIDU Poet's Biography First Line: O brilliant blossoms that strew my way Last Line: The glimmering ghosts of a bygone dream. Subject(s): Flowers; Nature; Spring | ||||||||
O BRILLIANT blossoms that strew my way, You are only woodland flowers they say. But, I sometimes think that perchance you are Fragments of some new-fallen star; Or golden lamps for a fairy shrine, Or golden pitchers for fairy wine. Perchance you are, O frail and sweet! Bright anklet-bells from the wild spring's feet, Or the gleaming tears that some fair bride shed Remembering her lost maidenhead. But now, in the memoried dusk you seem The glimmering ghosts of a bygone dream. | 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 A CHALLENGE TO FATE by SAROJINI NAIDU |
