ANNE HATHAWAY'S GARDEN, by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR First Line: On such a day of quiet rain Last Line: And her long aching outgrown years? Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening; Hathaway, Anne (1556-1623) | ||||||||
ON such a day of quiet rain When all the air was gray and sweet With unseen flowers, and Spring's dear pain Of longing in her pulses beat SHE may have stood with arms outspread Among the box-trees dripping spice, And listened for his coming tread As for the harps of Paradise. WE sigh for him whom God's red spur Drove glorious up the heights of tears, -- But in the valley, what of her, And her long aching outgrown years? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANNE HATHAWAY'S COTTAGE by MAURA STANTON A LYNMOUTH WIDOW by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR A MINOR POET by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR A MIRACLE by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR A POET by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR A POET ENLISTS by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR A SPRING SYMPHONY by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR A WISH by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR ABBOTSFORD by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR |
