WHO KNOWS WHERE BEAUTY LIES?, by AGNES STEWART BECK First Line: Does the harsh-toned voice of the crow Last Line: Think you? Subject(s): Admiration; Beauty | |||
Does the harsh-toned voice of the crow Bear a note of beauty? "No," you say, "Not so, He has no song to sing." But doesn't the iridescent show Of his feathers bear a something Of beauty under the sun's bright glow, Think you? Does the harsh-toned voice of her The toothless harridan wrangling Over the fence incur Unveiled contempt in you, Not one fine feather to stir A spark of admiration, Can there be nothing at all for her, Think you? Might not there be a kindly touch In her hands For little children, the aged and such, Think you? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
