SPECIFICATION, by THELMA PHLEGAR First Line: I'll never wed a woman Last Line: Her hands when the rain comes down. Subject(s): Flowers; Marriage; Rain; Wombats; Weddings; Husbands; Wives | ||||||||
I'll never wed a woman Who would be lovelier Than the blueberry bloom and the heather flower That the earth lifts up to her. She must be swift in meeting A wind that sings from the sea, And her words shall be like a dryad's words In telling of it to me. Though the bread should burn in the oven And the needle rust in the gown, I'll wed no woman who would not cup Her hands when the rain comes down. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BLESSING FOR A WEDDING by JANE HIRSHFIELD A SUITE FOR MARRIAGE by DAVID IGNATOW ADVICE TO HER SON ON MARRIAGE by MARY BARBER THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD KISSING AGAIN by DORIANNE LAUX A TIME PAST by DENISE LEVERTOV SQUIRE BOWLING GREEN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
