ON HAMPSTEAD HEATH, by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Against the green flame of the hawthorn-tree Last Line: Beneath her purple feather. Subject(s): Hampstead Heath, London | ||||||||
Against the green flame of the hawthorn-tree, His scarlet tunic burns; And livelier than the green sap's mantling glee The Spring fire tingles through him headily As quivering he turns And stammers out the old amazing tale Of youth and April weather; While she, with half-breathed jests that, sobbing, fail, Sits, tight-lipped, quaking, eager-eyed and pale, Beneath her purple feather. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BALLAD OF HAMPSTEAD HEATH by JAMES ELROY FLECKER AT A HOUSE IN HAMPSTEAD by THOMAS HARDY BREATH OF HAMPSTEAD HEATH by EDITH MATILDA THOMAS SUNDAY AT HAMPSTEAD, SELS. by JAMES THOMSON (1834-1882) SUNDAY ON HAMPSTEAD HEATH by GEORGE WOODCOCK BETWEEN THE LINES by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON BREAKFAST by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON FLANNAN ISLE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON FOR G. by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON |
