SEMPITERNAL, by NETTIE ARVILLA DOWNEY First Line: Fanfaronade did autumn fling Last Line: Then spent her days in orison. | |||
Fanfaronade did Autumn fling, An accolade to garnering. Splashed Summer's raiment brazonly; Lashed rainbow tints on every tree. When undone her riotous flame, A nun in umber she became Penitent for orgies gone, Then spent her days in orison. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WEALTH by NETTIE ARVILLA DOWNEY SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: GODWIN JAMES by EDGAR LEE MASTERS MOTHER'S LOVE by THOMAS BURBIDGE OLNEY HYMNS: 35.
