THE POET'S HOUR, by FRANCIS CARO First Line: The violet-laden flower girl Last Line: That I thought were dead. Subject(s): Books; Poetry & Poets - French; Reading | ||||||||
The violet-laden flower girl In whose dark eyes diffidence plays, Alone after the festival Kisses her old bouquets. 'Tis neither the night nor the daybreak, But that hour when, as they list, The waifs and the lean dogs of Paris Wander in gray mist, The bitter hour of poets Who sadly have set sail, Borne upon the restless wings Of torment and travail. And my smoky lamplight Gleams on the page ahead, Whence arise old phantoms That I thought were dead. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TWO SONNETS: 1 by DAVID LEHMAN THE ILLUSTRATION?ÇÖA FOOTNOTE by DENISE LEVERTOV FALLING ASLEEP OVER THE AENEID by ROBERT LOWELL POETRY MACHINES by CATE MARVIN LENDING LIBRARY by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY CHAMBER MUSIC: 27 by JAMES JOYCE I PAY MY DEBT FOR LAFAYETTE AND ROCHAMBEAU' by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
