THREE GIRLS, by HAZEL HALL Poet's Biography First Line: Three school girls pass this way each day Last Line: She dies as soon as her dream is done. Subject(s): Girls | ||||||||
Three school girls pass this way each day: Two of them go in the fluttery way Of girls, with all that girlhood buys; But one goes with a dream in her eyes, Two of them have the eyes of girls Whose hair is learning scorn of curls, But the eyes of one are like wide doors Opening out on misted shores. And they will go as they go to-day On to the end of life's short way; Two will have what living buys, And one will have the dream in her eyes. Two will die as many must, And fitly dust will welcome dust; But dust has nothing to do with one -- She dies as soon as her dream is done. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO THE RETURNED GIRLS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS A GIRL by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY SONG OF THE LITTLE WHITE GIRL by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SEASHORE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS GIRLS ON THE RUN: 1 by JOHN ASHBERY GIRLS ON THE RUN: 10 by JOHN ASHBERY GIRLS ON THE RUN: 14 by JOHN ASHBERY GIRLS ON THE RUN: 2 by JOHN ASHBERY |
