TWO PATHS, by JULIA CAROLINE RIPLEY DORR Poet Analysis
First Line: A path across a meadow fair and sweet
Last Line: To keep the tryst, if he come soon or late!
First Line: A path across a meadow fair and sweet
Last Line: To keep the tryst, if he come soon or late!
A PATH across a meadow fair and sweet,
Where clover-blooms the lithesome grasses greet,
A path worn smooth by his impetuous feet.
A straight, swift path -- and at its end, a star
Gleaming behind the lilac's fragrant bar,
And her soft eyes, more luminous by far!
A path across the meadow fair and sweet,
Still sweet and fair where blooms and grasses meet --
A path worn smooth by his reluctant feet.
A long, straight path -- and, at its end, a gate
Behind whose bars she doth in silence wait
To keep the tryst, if he come soon or late!
