PANSY: THOUGHTS, by SARAH DOUDNEY Poet's Biography First Line: I send thee pansies while the year is young Last Line: And for the pansies send me back a thought. Variant Title(s): Pansies Subject(s): Pansies | |||
I SEND thee pansies while the year is young, Yellow as sunshine, purple as the night; Flowers of remembrance, ever fondly sung By all the chiefest of the Sons of Light; And if in recollection lives regret For wasted days and dreams that were not true, I tell thee that the "pansy freaked with jet" Is still the heart's-ease that the poets knew. Take all the sweetness of a gift unsought, And for the pansies send me back a thought. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ESCAPE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN PANSY FACES by ANNE PAULINE CLARK PANSIES by JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY A BOWL OF PANSIES by EARL ALBERT RUSSELL PANSY by MARY EMILY NEELEY BRADLEY THE WATER MILL by SARAH DOUDNEY |
