FOR THE TAKING, by FRANCES DICKENSON PINDER First Line: Not far away, nor fenced, nor long in seeking Last Line: Take of earth's bounty what you will. Alternate Author Name(s): Pindar, Frances Dickenson; Pinder, F. D. | |||
Not far away, nor fenced, nor long in seeking: Some chance spot screened from those who pass, A place of leaves, a stretch of quiet water, A space of cool, untrodden grass. Breathe deep the reek of timeless incense rising: Faint musk of ripe seeds in the pod, A pensive fragrance as of late wild asters, Warmth of the spent sun in the sod. But you must go alone to win its healing: Low in the friendly grass, lie still, And drowsing there, half-waking and half-dreaming, Take of earth's bounty what you will. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SHALLOWS by FRANCES DICKENSON PINDER SHIPS by FRANCES DICKENSON PINDER STORM IN THE HILLS by FRANCES DICKENSON PINDER I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A REAL HARD TIME BEFORE' by HAYDEN CARRUTH TO A BLUEBELL by EMILY JANE BRONTE DAY: MORNING by JOHN CUNNINGHAM SONNET: 78 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE WHOLE DUTY OF CHILDREN by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON QUATRAIN: FAME by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH |
