LATE SNOW IN THE SMOKIES, by ELIZABETH JONES BROWNING First Line: Spring, one night Last Line: That palmer knew, and corot could not miss. Subject(s): Smoky Mountains; Snow; Spring | |||
Spring, one night Of borrowed wool a snow-blanket spun And laid it on the mountain, light, so light -- Whiter than coined purity when it was done. So holy pure indeed that the top peak Seemed a sacrosanct, a being kneeling to confess! Proud strength in silent beauty; and all about Nor old nor new paths could know introgress. Oh, late, but not for naught, the scowling night Lent of her wintry loveliness for this: Here was the artist's vision of delight -- That Palmer knew, and Corot could not miss. | 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 FREE FANTASIA ON JAPANESE THEMES by AMY LOWELL |
