THE SPROUTING BOARD, by AL-ISRA'ILI First Line: Your cheeks were oh how fair Last Line: Reveals its wick is black. | |||

And then your cheeks became A candle that, alack Extinguishing its flame, Reveals its wick is black. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOME (2) by EDGAR ALBERT GUEST A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 48 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN TOM MOONEY by WILLIAM ELLERY LEONARD IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 82 by ALFRED TENNYSON THE HARLOT'S HOUSE by OSCAR WILDE THE SHEPHERD'S CONTENT by RICHARD BARNFIELD CLIO, NINE ECLOGUES IN HONOUR OF NINE VIRTUES: 8.
