STORMS, by JOSEPH UPPER HARRIS First Line: In the basin of the fountain, after the storm Last Line: There is no such peace. Alternate Author Name(s): Upper, Joseph Subject(s): Anger; Emotions; Storms | ||||||||
In the basin of the fountain, after the storm, Plum-blossoms float dreamily. The plum-tree, shorn of its dainty finery, gazes moodily into the water, Resentment at its loss soothed by the peaceful contemplation Of all those delicate petals dreaming on the still surface. In my soul, after the storm, There is no such peace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STORM AT HOPTIME by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THERE IS A SOLEMN WIND TONIGHT by KATHERINE MANSFIELD DEWEY AND DANCER by JOSEPHINE MILES MICHAEL IS AFRAID OF THE STORM by GWENDOLYN BROOKS BREACHING THE ROCK by MADELINE DEFREES THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE OCEAN by STEPHEN DOBYNS OF POLITICS, & ART by NORMAN DUBIE TREMENDOUS WIND AND RAIN by ANSELM HOLLO |
