ACROSS THE WAY, by RAY CLARKE ROSE First Line: Across the way dim shadows play Last Line: Across the way? Subject(s): Day; May (month) | ||||||||
Across the way dim shadows play, Where fragrant blossoms blush and sway With every touch of wanton wind, And blond bees clutch in ardor blind The tender blooms, or, droning, stray Where dandelion blots inlay With gold the green lawn's gay display Of rippling grasses intertwined Across the way. But, best of all, My Lady May Sits basking in the sun; and pray, In all the dooryard can you find A bud to beauty more inclined Than Mayjust two years old to-day Across the way? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN THE MONTH OF MAY by ROBERT BLY VENICE: MAY DAY by KENNETH REXROTH EARLY MAY STANZAS by TOMAS TRANSTROMER HOME-THOUGHTS, FROM ABROAD by ROBERT BROWNING IN MAY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A BACHELOR'S VALENTINE by RAY CLARKE ROSE |
