TWO SKETCHES: 2. A.B., by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING Poet's Biography First Line: Her azure eyes, dark lashes hold in fee Last Line: In that sole garden where christ's brow dropped blood. Subject(s): Moulton-barrett, Arabella | ||||||||
HER azure eyes, dark lashes hold in fee; Her fair superfluous ringlets without check Drop after one another down her neck, As many to each cheek as you might see Green leaves to a wild rose; this sign outwardly, And a like woman-covering seems to deck Her inner nature, for she will not fleck World's sunshine with a finger. Sympathy Must call her in Love's name! and then, I know, She rises up, and brightens as she should, And lights her smile for comfort, and is slow In nothing of high-hearted fortitude. To smell this flower, come near it! such can grow In that sole garden where Christ's brow dropped blood. | Other Poems of Interest...A CHILD'S THOUGHT OF GOD by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING A COURT LADY by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING A MAN'S REQUIREMENTS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING A PORTRAIT by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING A VIEW ACROSS THE ROMAN CAMPAGNA by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING A WOMAN'S SHORTCOMINGS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING BERTHA IN THE LANE by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING BIANCA AMONG THE NIGHTINGALES by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING CATARINA TO CAMOENS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
