MARIE, by HENRY BERNARD First Line: The lion d'or at quimperle Last Line: In the lion d'or at quimperlè! Subject(s): Waiters & Waitresses | ||||||||
THE Lion d'Or at Quimperlè Housed abbots in a holier day, And yet the vesper bell Means much in an hostel. Its pensive note moves saint and sinner, It calls my heart and me to dinner, Whereof the plates are plied By grace personified. But she who wields the coffee-pot (Smiling on some, on others not), Ah! she is more divine Than abbey, church, or shrine. Eyes like a moonbeam, and a face Where dimples run a joyous race My friend, if you could see How she hath smiled on me! Ah, that I could for ever stay In the Lion d'Or at Quimperlè! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BLONDE SONATA by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS FICTIONS OF THE FEMININE: QUASI-CARNAL CREATURES by ALICE FULTON DEAR OLD DICK by EDGAR LEE MASTERS COMING SOON by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE SWEENEY AMONG THE NIGHTINGALES by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT THE CONVERGENCE OF THE TWAIN; LINES ON LOSS OF THE TITANIC by THOMAS HARDY |
