PANSIES! Pansies! How I love you, pansies! Jaunty-faced, laughing-lipped and dewy-eyed with glee; Would my song but blossom out in little five-leaf stanzas As delicate in fancies As your beauty is to me! But my eyes shall smile on you, and my hands infold you, Pet, caress, and lift you to the lips that love you so, That, shut ever in the years that may mildew or mold you, My fancy shall behold you Fair as in the long ago. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ESCAPE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN PANSY FACES by ANNE PAULINE CLARK PANSY: THOUGHTS by SARAH DOUDNEY |
