NARCISSUS, by KATHRYN E. COLQUHOUN First Line: The zephyrs brought him incense of the flowers Last Line: Had blotted out the world. Subject(s): Mythology - Classical; Narcissus (mythology) | |||
The zephyrs brought him incense of the flowers, From misty woodlands beautiful and cool, When, heedless of the waning of the hours, Narcissus watched the pool. And twilight came adown the shadowed way, Vestured in opal vales of glimmering light; Softly she passed where the lone dreamer lay, Then sought her lover, Night. Came woodland nymphs who gathered at his side, And wreathed his brow with starry buds impearled, But in his soul, the darkening of the tide Had blotted out the world. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHAT NARCISSUS GAVE THE LAKE by ELEANOR WILNER NARCISSUS AND ECHO by FRED CHAPPELL SECOND OPINION by STEPHEN CUSHMAN NARCISSUS by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES NARCISSUS (1) by JAMES ELROY FLECKER NARCISSUS (2) by JAMES ELROY FLECKER SONG TO MYSELF by GLORIA GODDARD NARCISSUS: A POMPEIIAN BRONZE by VYACHESLAV IVANOVICH IVANOV NARCISSUS by GRACE DENIO LITCHFIELD IN THE GARDEN OF LU SAN by KATHRYN E.
