AN OFFERING, by ANNE MILLAY BREMER First Line: Velvet cowslips, tawny hue Last Line: For you, these glowing flowers, my friend. Subject(s): Flowers; Spring | |||
VELVET cowslips, tawny hue, Frail butterfly's twin wing; They grew in the shade of a dusky yew, Dipped roots in a bubbling spring. Cowslip clusters, moist with dew, Roused by a young breeze scampering; Yellow and cool heaped on green grass, Clear drops trickle from leaves tapering. Golden cowslips, bright at heart A dart of singing orange gleams: In shining bowls of burnished brass. Wraith of perfume: lemon-groves of dreams. Cowslips, armfuls, crisp, piled high, Cream-pale with copper-topaz blend; Fresh as air in rain-drenched sky— For you, these glowing flowers, my friend. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD |
