Yellow and green, with garlands gay; Pale Madonnas on fields of blue; Plump bambini with birds, at play; Coat-of-arms of Italian hue; Perugian Griffin with Lion of Guelph, Fighting to prove their civic prides; Just at this point -- I help myself . . . A crack runs down where the Mayor decides Which of the cities has won the fight . . . Majolica chronicles have this plight. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MADONNA by KATHARINE LEE BATES BALLADE TO OUR LADY OF CZESTOCHOWA by HILAIRE BELLOC OUR LORD AND OUR LADY by HILAIRE BELLOC PLASTIC BEATITUDE by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR A SONG OF MARY by LUCILLE CLIFTON ISLAND MARY by LUCILLE CLIFTON MARY'S DREAM by LUCILLE CLIFTON |
