STANCES, by YANNIS PAPADIAMANTOPOULOS Poet's Biography First Line: The garden rose I paid no honour to Last Line: Too heavy lies the spectre of a flower! Alternate Author Name(s): Moreas, Jean | ||||||||
The garden rose I paid no honour to, So humbly poised and fashioned on its spray, Has now by wind unkissed, undrenched by dew, Lived captive in her vase beyond a day. And tired and pale, bereft of earth and sun, Her blossom over and her hour of pride, She has dropped all her petals, one by one, Unmindful if she lived or how she died. When doom is passing in her dusky glade Let us learn silence In this evening hour, O heart bowed down with mystery and shade, Too heavy lies the spectre of a flower! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A YOUNG GIRL'S SONG by YANNIS PAPADIAMANTOPOULOS ELEGY by YANNIS PAPADIAMANTOPOULOS O LITTLE FAIRIES... by YANNIS PAPADIAMANTOPOULOS REMEMBRANCES by YANNIS PAPADIAMANTOPOULOS STANZAS by YANNIS PAPADIAMANTOPOULOS THE BRAVO by YANNIS PAPADIAMANTOPOULOS THE SATYRS AND THE FALL by YANNIS PAPADIAMANTOPOULOS SONG FOR A VIOLA D'AMORE by AMY LOWELL THE SONG OF THE INGENUES by PAUL VERLAINE LORD WALTER'S WIFE by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
