FAIRY TALE, by KATHERINE MANSFIELD Poet's Biography First Line: Now folds the tree of day its perfect flowers Last Line: To their old mother, in her huge old home. Alternate Author Name(s): Murry, John Middleton, Mrs.; Beauchamp, Kathleen | |||
Now folds the Tree of Day its perfect flowers, And every bloom becomes a bud again, Shut and sealed up against the golden showers Of bees that hover in the velvet hours.... Now a strain Wild and mournful blown from shadow towers, Echoed from shadow ships upon the foam, Proclaims the Queen of Night. From their bowers The dark Princess fluttering, wing their flight To their old Mother, in her huge old home. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VILLA PAULINE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE OPAL DREAM CAVE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE SECRET by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE EARTH-CHILD IN THE GRASS by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SONG OF THE LITTLE WHITE GIRL by KATHERINE MANSFIELD OPPOSITES by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SONG OF KAREN, THE DANCING CHILD by KATHERINE MANSFIELD FIRELIGHT by KATHERINE MANSFIELD |
