LILIES of white in a noon-day dream Lift lashes of wondering eyes, And breathe their scent at my window-sill Like a lover's passionate sighs. I sit and gaze at the summer light In the violet heavens burning -- And think of an eye that is lit for me With wonder and prayer and yearning. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RAINY SEASON by CLARENCE MAJOR TO AMERICA by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON CUMNOR HALL by WILLIAM JULIUS MICKLE A CANADIAN BOAT SONG; WRITTEN ON THE RIVER ST.
