CYPRIAN WOMAN: GREEK FOLK SONG, by MARGARET WIDDEMER Poet's Biography First Line: Under dusky laurel leaf Last Line: All that life could tell. Alternate Author Name(s): Schauffler, Mrs. Robert H. | |||
Under dusky laurel leaf, Scarlet leaf of rose, I lie prone, who have known All a woman knows. Love and grief and motherhood, Fame and mirth and scorn, These are all shall befall Any woman born. Jewel-laden are my hands, Tall my stone above -- Do not weep that I sleep, Who was wise in love: Where I walk a shadow gray Through gray asphodel, I am glad, who have had All that Life could tell. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A COUNTRY CAROL by MARGARET WIDDEMER GOD AND THE STRONG ONES by MARGARET WIDDEMER HOLLY CAROL by MARGARET WIDDEMER MARY, HELPER OF HEARTBREAK by MARGARET WIDDEMER PRAYER FOR A WORLD HURT SORE by MARGARET WIDDEMER REMEMBRANCE: GREEK FOLK-SONG by MARGARET WIDDEMER REVISITANTS by MARGARET WIDDEMER |
