IRISES, by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY Poet's Biography First Line: In a vase of gold Last Line: The way that the buds unfurl! Alternate Author Name(s): Field, Michael (with Edith Emma Cooper) Subject(s): Iris (flower) | |||
In a vase of gold And scarlet, how cold The flicker of wrinkled grays In this iris-sheaf! My eyes fill with wonder At the tossed, moist light, at the withered scales under And among the uncertain sprays. The wavings of white On the cloudy light, And the finger-marks of pearl; The facets of crystal, the golden feather, The way that the petals fold over together, The way that the buds unfurl! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BLUE-FLAG IN THE BOG by EDNA ST.
