PICTURES OF MOTHER, by STELLA PFEIFFER BAISCH First Line: My mother's picture as a girl Last Line: The smile of mother mine. Subject(s): Beauty; Mothers; Pictures | |||
My Mother's picture as a girl Is lovely maiden-sweet, With clear true eyes and flaxen curl And hands crossed trim and neat. But far more beautiful is now My Mother's lovely face, Since life's full years upon her brow Their finest etchings trace. Upon her face her soul has wrought, Like silver filigree, With bright transcendent beauty fraught A wondrous tracery. Her hands an intricate design Of filmy texture knit, And speak their character as fine, As softly exquisite. The snowy hair above a brow All limned with love, benign, The tender eyes of Mother now Reflect the radiant shine, Like sunny skies above the snow, The smile of Mother mine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER by HETTIE JONES PHOTOGRAPH OF A GATHERING OF PEOPLE WAVING by CLARENCE MAJOR FEMALE PORTRAIT, 19TH CENTURY by TOMAS TRANSTROMER THREE POEMS ON DEMAND: PICTURES OF BUGS BUNNY DRESSED LIKE A THUG by JORDAN DAVIS THREE PICTURES by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT SINGING HANDS by CAREY YATES BUSBY HOARFROST by STELLA PFEIFFER BAISCH |
