A HOME GREETING, by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON Poet's Biography First Line: A pair of soft, black eyes Last Line: A pure, confiding, wife? | |||
A PAIR of soft, black eyes, A velvet, dusky, cheek, A flash of dazzling pearls, An Eden for me speak. And next a soft embrace; My eyes drink to their fill, The tender, liquid, depth, Of orbs that ever thrill. A long, ecstatic, kiss, That drowns all earthly strife: What gift can e'er exceed, A pure, confiding, wife? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A COMMON OCCURRENCE by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A DOMESTIC STORM by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A HAPPY PAIR by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A HYMN by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A KINDLY DEED by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A LITTLE WREN by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A PRAYER by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A SOUTHERN SCENE by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A TRIBUTE TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A VALENTINE by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON |
