Sighed the wind to the wheat: -- 'The Queen who is slumbering there, Once bewildered the rose; Scorned, "Thou un-fair!" Once, from that bird-whirring court, Ascended the ruinous stair. Aloft, on that weed-hung turret, suns Smote on her hair -- Of a gold by Archiac sought, Of a gold sea-hid, Of a gold that from core of quartz No flame shall bid Pour into light of the air For God's Jews to see.' Mocked the wheat to the wind: -- 'Kiss me! Kiss me!' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ARABIA by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BUNCHES OF GRAPES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ECHO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ENGLAND (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FARE WELL by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FIVE EYES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
