GREENNESS by ANGELINA WELD GRIMKE

Poet Analysis

First Line: TELL ME IS THERE ANYTHING LOVELIER
Last Line: HUSHING THE HEART THAT BEATS AND BEATS AND BEATS?
Subject(s): GRASS; LEAVES;
Tell me is there anything lovelier,
Anything more quieting
Than the green of little blades of grass
And the green of little leaves?

Is not each leaf a cool green hand,
Is not each blade of grass a mothering green finger,
Hushing the heart that beats and beats and beats?
