F.C.P.-A PORTRAIT, by LEXIE DEAN ROBERTSON Poet's Biography First Line: There is a certain beauty in her face Last Line: Courage and faith and humble majesty. Subject(s): Portraits | |||
THERE is a certain beauty in her face That holds close kindred with the quiet things One finds in forests, and a subtle grace In all her movements as of lifted wings. A sweet tranquillity dreams in her eyes That look upon the world as unafraid And clear as hidden pools reflecting skies. Her voice speaks music that the winds have played At midnight through the leaves, and in her smile Is lit the radiance of a falling star. When I have watched her for a little while I see deep in her heart that these things are: Patience and reverence and loyalty, Courage and faith and humble majesty. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AQUATINT FRAMED IN GOLD by AMY LOWELL PORTRAIT OF X (III) by THOMAS LUX PORTRAIT OF THE GREAT WHITE HUNTER FOXHUNTING IN THE ABSENCE OF BIG... by CLARENCE MAJOR PORTRAIT OF A MAN by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER PORTRAITE DE L'ARTISTE by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER FAMILY PORTRAIT by KENNETH PATCHEN FEMALE PORTRAIT, 19TH CENTURY by TOMAS TRANSTROMER A CHANT OF MY BELOVED by LEXIE DEAN ROBERTSON |
