NEW-TURNED SOIL, by ALICE PROKASKY First Line: The smell of new turned garden soil Last Line: A scent a rose may not excel. Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening | ||||||||
The smell of new turned garden soil Is in the air. With patient toil The musk of earth is freed From winter cell ... Each shovel full is like an urn Diffusing redolent odor; A freshness comes with each upturn Of living earth ... A scent a rose may not excel. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NOVEMBER GARDEN: AN ELEGY by ANDREW HUDGINS AN ENGLISH GARDEN IN AUSTRIA (SEEN AFTER DER ROSENKAVALIER) by RANDALL JARRELL ACROSS THE BROWN RIVER by GALWAY KINNELL A DESERTED GARDEN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS NOT THE SWEET CICELY OF GERARDES HERBALL by MARGARET AVISON AN OLD GARDEN by HERBERT BASHFORD TUNICA PALLIO PROPRIOR by MARIANNE MOORE APPROACH OF WINTER by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS NEW-MADE HONOUR (IMITATED FROM MARTIAL) by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM |
