WEDDING FEAST, by AMY BOWER First Line: Just one more bride has passed before Last Line: Blessed the bride in her silks and laces. Subject(s): Brides; Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives | ||||||||
Just one more bride has passed before The altar and out the old church door. Her friends flung rice, her laugh was gay, And merrily she was whisked away. Then a brooding quiet settled down On the dusty street in the little town; And out from a nearby house there stole A shabby old couple with broom and bowl. They swept up the rice while their grateful faces Blessed the bride in her silks and laces. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BLESSING FOR A WEDDING by JANE HIRSHFIELD A SUITE FOR MARRIAGE by DAVID IGNATOW ADVICE TO HER SON ON MARRIAGE by MARY BARBER THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD KISSING AGAIN by DORIANNE LAUX A TIME PAST by DENISE LEVERTOV |
