ST. VALENTINE'S DAY, by EDITH BLAND NESBIT Poem Explanation Poet's Biography First Line: The south is a dream of flowers Last Line: Warm-lit for my love and me. Alternate Author Name(s): Nesbit, E.; Bland, Mrs. Hubert Subject(s): Holidays; Valentine's Day | ||||||||
THE South is a dream of flowers With a jewel for sky and sea, Rose-crowns for the dancing hours, Gold fruits upon every tree; But cold from the North The wind blows forth That blows my love to me. The stars in the South are gold Like lamps between sky and sea; The flowers that the forests hold Like stars between tree and tree; But little and white Is the pale moon's light That lights my love to me. In the South the orange grove Makes dusk by the dusky sea, White palaces wrought for love Gleam white between tree and tree, But under bare boughs Is the little house Warm-lit for my love and me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHOICE by EDITH BLAND NESBIT A GREAT INDUSTRIAL CENTRE by EDITH BLAND NESBIT A LAST APPEAL by EDITH BLAND NESBIT A PARTING by EDITH BLAND NESBIT A PRAYER FOR THE KING'S MAJESTY; 22ND JANUARY, 1901 by EDITH BLAND NESBIT A STAR IN THE EAST; FOR FIRST ART EXHIBITION AT ST.
