THE LOVER'S THANKSGIVING, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: I'm glad for every shining star Last Line: Is jenny's heart. Subject(s): Holidays; Love; Thanksgiving | ||||||||
I'm glad for every shining star, The gleams of glittering skies, And that their brightest sparkles are In Jenny's eyes. I'm glad for summer's drowsy hum, Dear zephyrs from the south, And that their sweetest breathings come From Jenny's mouth. I'm glad for beauty's towers tall, For poetry and art, And that the centre of it all Is Jenny's heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CULTURE OF GLASS by THYLIAS MOSS THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING by NORMAN DUBIE OUR PRAYER OF THANKS by CARL SANDBURG THANKSGIVING DAY by LYDIA MARIA CHILD XAIPE: 65 by EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS THE OL' TUNES by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A THANKSGIVING TO GOD [FOR HIS HOUSE] by ROBERT HERRICK A BATTLE SONG (WRITTEN IN THE WORLD WAR) by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
