DOWN HERE, by RENE FRANCOIS ARMAND PRUDHOMME Poet's Biography First Line: Down here the lilies wither away Last Line: Always. Alternate Author Name(s): Sully-prudhomme Subject(s): Dreams; Thought; Time; Nightmares; Thinking | ||||||||
Down here the lilies wither away, The songs of birds last but a day; I dream of a summer that stays Always. Down here the lips lightly play And ever are ready, ever gay; I dream of a kiss that stays Always. Down here the men are leaden gray For friend or loved one gone astray; I dream of a couple that stays Always. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MILLE ET UN SENTIMENTS (PREMIERS CENTS) by DENISE DUHAMEL SUNDAY AFTERNOON by CLARENCE MAJOR I BROOD ABOUT SOME CONCEPTS, FOR EXAMPLE by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER EASY LESSONS IN GEOPHAGY by KENNETH REXROTH GENTLEMEN, I ADDRESS YOU PUBLICLY by KENNETH REXROTH ON FLOWER WREATH HILL: 1 by KENNETH REXROTH ALONE by RENE FRANCOIS ARMAND PRUDHOMME AU BORD DE DEAU by RENE FRANCOIS ARMAND PRUDHOMME BEFORE THE APOLLO OF THE BELVEDERE by RENE FRANCOIS ARMAND PRUDHOMME |
