SHE LOOKS BEYOND TO-MORROW, by RUTH FITCH BARTLETT First Line: I will wear purple bonnets Last Line: Tell me any foolish thing! Subject(s): Hats; Life; Old Age; Youth | |||
I will wear purple bonnets And high black shoes. Too soon, too soon, Youth is all we lose. Losing Life is nothing much After youth is gone. Tell me I am sweet to touch For old age will be long; Tell me that this yellow dress Is a part of loveliness -- Like a jonquil in the spring -- Tell me any foolish thing! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BETWEEN THE WARS by ROBERT HASS THE GOLDEN SHOVEL by TERRANCE HAYES ALONG WITH YOUTH by ERNEST HEMINGWAY THE BLACK RIVIERA by MARK JARMAN COMFORT by RUTH FITCH BARTLETT |
