The flowers that grew in Shakespeare's garden lift In poems made by him. There, gleaming tall, His fragrant lilies prove a poignant call. Then purple winds of music clearly drift On pansy-leaf, a lute without a rift; Narcissi white or yellow mark the wall Of Canterbury-bell ... Aromas fall From rhythmic petals, his own ample gift. He loved the gentle flowers that breezes fan By Stratford river ... How my dreams unfold Eternal fame, for they have met along A garden path. There Will with eager Ann Adored the spicy pink and marigold That live within his tender magic song! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WAS THAT REALLY A SONNET? by ANSELM HOLLO RETICENT SONNET by ANNE CARSON SONNET: OF THREE GIRLS AND OF THEIR TALK by GIOVANNI BOCCACCIO WHAT THE SONNET IS by EUGENE JACOB LEE-HAMILTON ON A MAGAZINE SONNET by RUSSELL HILLARD LOINES THE HOUSE OF LIFE: THE SONNET (INTRODUCTION) by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI TO AN UNBORN PAUPER CHILD by THOMAS HARDY |
