THREE WOMEN: G --, by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR First Line: Sister is she to woodlands deep Last Line: Unconscious what a place she fills. Subject(s): Women | |||
SISTER is she to woodlands deep And quiet-bosomed noonday skies; To calm, encircling leagues of sea Unfathomed in serenity. Not over-quick to laugh or weep Are the clear candours of her eyes. The still, unboasting strength is hers That stays the immemorial hills. Comfort and cheer her presence lays Like footprints all along her ways; The simplest of Love's ministers, Unconscious what a place she fills. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER A WOMAN'S DELUSION by SUSAN HOWE JULIA TUTWILER STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN by ANDREW HUDGINS THE WOMEN ON CYTHAERON by ROBINSON JEFFERS TOMORROW by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LADIES FOR DINNER, SAIPAN by KENNETH KOCH GOODBYE TO TOLERANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV A LYNMOUTH WIDOW by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR |
