THE SECRET, by JESSIE BELL RITTENHOUSE Poet's Biography First Line: I go in vesture spun by hands Last Line: Nor my star-powdered hair. Alternate Author Name(s): Scollard, Clinton, Mrs. Subject(s): Secrets | ||||||||
I GO in vesture spun by hands Upon no loom of earth, I dwell within a shining house That has no walls nor hearth; I live on food more exquisite Than honey of the bee, More delicate than manna It falls to nourish me; But none may see my shining house, Nor taste my food so rare, And none may see my moon-spun robe Nor my star-powdered hair. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT THE MUSEE RODIN IN PARIS by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR CHANEL NO. 5 by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR EXISTING LIGHT; FOR LEE NYE by MADELINE DEFREES GRETA GARBO AND THE STAR MESSENGER by MADELINE DEFREES ELSINORE IN THE LATE ANCIENT AUTUMN by NORMAN DUBIE MARGARET'S SPEECH by NORMAN DUBIE THE PARALLAX MONOGRAPH FOR RODIN by NORMAN DUBIE THE TREES OF MADAME BLAVATSKY by NORMAN DUBIE A NIGHTINGALE AT FRESNOY by JESSIE BELL RITTENHOUSE |
