WHITE AZALEAS, by HARRIET MCEWEN KIMBALL First Line: Azaleas - whitest of white! Last Line: That looks into god's own eyes! Subject(s): Azaleas; Flowers | ||||||||
AZALEAS -- whitest of white! White as the drifted snow Fresh-fallen out of the night, Before the coming glow Tinges the morning light; When the light is like the snow, White, And the silence is like the light: Light, and silence, and snow, -- All -- white! White! not a hint Of the creamy tint A rose will hold, The whitest rose, in its inmost fold; Not a possible blush; White as an embodied hush; A very rapture of white; A wedlock of silence and light: White, white as the wonder undefiled Of Eve just wakened in Paradise; Nay, white as the angel of a child That looks into God's own eyes! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEY SAW THE PROBLEM by MARK JARMAN SHAKE THE SUPERFLUX! by DAVID LEHMAN THE M??TIER OF BLOSSOMING by DENISE LEVERTOV TANKA DIARY (6) by HARRYETTE MULLEN VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN FORCED BLOOM by STEPHEN ELLIOTT DUNN ALL'S WELL by HARRIET MCEWEN KIMBALL |
