What happy place we travel through! Did wallflowers ever look so gay? Kissed by the periwinkle blue The old wall stoops above our way. The chestnut climbs above the church And torches holds for the sun's amaze, The wind-cock glitters on his perch, The cows in dreams of grasses gaze. And for this blackclad ghost-like maid Whose cobbled shoes so wearily trace The dust, whose gaze on ground is laid, Whose steps are wounds -- what happy place? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TRANSPOSITIONS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON PEOPLE'S SURROUNDINGS by MARIANNE MOORE APPEARANCE AND REALITY by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER NURSING HOME: THE DOLL by KAREN SWENSON OFFICE PARTY: DISTAFF VIEW by KAREN SWENSON ON SOMETHING THAT WALKS SOMEWHERE by BEN JONSON BLACK GIRL by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS THE FASHION by JOSEPH BEAUMONT THE UNKNOWN WOMAN by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK |
