MORNING GLORY, by SIEGFRIED SASSOON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: In this meadow starred with spring Last Line: Sleeps below the crimson thorn. Subject(s): Soldiers' Writings | ||||||||
IN this meadow starred with spring Shepherds kneel before their king. Mary throned, with dreaming eyes, Gowned in blue like rain-washed skies, Lifts her tiny son that he May behold their courtesy. And green-smocked children, awed and good, Bring him blossoms from the wood. Clear the sunlit steeples chime Mary's coronation-time. Loud the happy children quire To the golden-windowed morn; While the lord of their desire Sleeps below the crimson thorn. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A WORKING PARTY by SIEGFRIED SASSOON AFTERMATH by SIEGFRIED SASSOON BASE DETAILS by SIEGFRIED SASSOON BLIGHTERS by SIEGFRIED SASSOON COUNTER-ATTACK by SIEGFRIED SASSOON EVERYONE SANG by SIEGFRIED SASSOON FALLING ASLEEP by SIEGFRIED SASSOON |
