CHERRY TREE IN AUTUMN, by MARIE DAVIES WARREN BECKNER First Line: A cherry tree bends by a cinder walk Last Line: My face against its barrenness. Subject(s): Cherry Trees | ||||||||
A cherry tree bends by a cinder walk Attentive for the low sweet talk Of lovers who used to pause and linger, While delicate cheek and tapering finger Lay lovingly against the bloom Like lighted candles in the gloom. Turn back your page for an instant, Time, I would yield to the wish of the tree, and climb The parapet and gently press My face against its barrenness. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A HALF-DEAD BLACK CHERRY TREE ACROSS THE ROAD FROM MY CHILDHOOD HOUSE by GREGORY ORR THE CHERRY TREE by STEPHEN DOBYNS THE CHERRY TREE by THOMSON WILLIAM GUNN A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 2 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 110 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE CHERRY TREES by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS TO A.
