Yellow-orange-red shadings In a green bowl, You speak to my light-hearted soul! ... While my serious soul calmly waits For statelier blooms Arising from delicate vases in high-paneled rooms. They breathe of the hot-house; but you -- O tintings of henna, of lemon, of gold (I know you of old!) Are frivolous-souled! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BIG NASTURTIUMS by ROBERT BEVERLY HALE THE COURTSHIP OF MILES STANDISH by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW SONNETS FOR PICTURES: A VENETIAN PASTORAL (BY GIOGIONE) by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI DRESSING THE BRIDE (A FRAGMENT) by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE DEAD LEAF by ANTOINE VINCENT ARNAULT HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 32 by WILLIAM BOSWORTH CARPE DIEM by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 2.
