SOMEDAY, by FLORA SHUFELT RIVOLA First Line: Someday my needy fingers Last Line: And beauty will call me friend. Subject(s): Beauty | ||||||||
Someday my needy fingers Will touch Beauty's garment; She will know that virtue has gone out of her, And turning she will see The offering my hungry eyes are making to her; And because of my need She will take a flower from her garlands And give it me; Then, these uncouth fingers will become Bearers of the flower-message To other hearts And Beauty will call me Friend. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING FOR THE SOUL OF AN ECCENTRIC MAN by FLORA SHUFELT RIVOLA |
