DEJECTION, by GRACE E. ALBRIGHT First Line: It is winter in my garden Last Line: Burial. Subject(s): Melancholy; Winter; Dejection | |||
It is winter in my garden, The naked branches of the shrubs Betray the wounds of Pruner's knife. It is winter in my heart, The ghost of half-remembered fear Chills to desolation My spirit. It is winter in my garden. The shriveled mummy of a summer's flower is gaunt; I must remember to give it Burial. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BALLAD OF THE LADIES OF OLDEN TIMES by FRANCOIS VILLON THE FOUR HUMOURS by RAFAEL CAMPO DEJECTION by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT DEJECTION: AN ODE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE MELANCHOLIA by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR |
