GOOD GRACIOUS by AMY LOWELL

Poet Analysis

First Line: THEY SAY THERE IS A FAIRY IN EVERY STREAK'D TULIP
Last Line: Unless there was a moon
Subject(s): TULIPS;

THEY say there is a fairy in every streak'd tulip.
I have rows and rows of them beside my door.
Hoop-la! Come out, Brownie,
And I will give you an emerald ear-ring!
You had better come out,
For to-morrow may be stormy,
And I could never bring myself to part with my emerald ear-rings
Unless there was a moon.
