THE LAURELS ARE FELLED, by THEODORE FAULLAIN DE BANVILLE Poet's Biography First Line: We shall go no more to the woods, the laurels are felled Last Line: We shall go no more to the woods, the laurels are felled. Subject(s): Flowers; Forests; Grass; Laurels; Lilies; Woods | |||
We shall go no more to the woods, the laurels are felled. The Naiads enclustered, the Cupid-scroll, See the sunlight glisten in crystals held By the silent waves pouring from their bowl. The laurels are felled, and the lonely stag at bay Trembles to hear the horn; we shall go no more to the woods Where charming children laughed their lustihoods Under the eyes of lilies the tears of the sky had swelled. This was the laurel they cut, this the grass that lay. We shall go no more to the woods, the laurels are felled. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PRINCESS WAKES IN THE WOOD by RANDALL JARRELL CHAMBER MUSIC: 20 by JAMES JOYCE ADVICE TO A FOREST by MAXWELL BODENHEIM A SOUTH CAROLINA FOREST by AMY LOWELL JOY IN THE WOODS by CLAUDE MCKAY IN BLACKWATER WOODS by MARY OLIVER |
