THE GARDEN UNDER LIGHTNING, by LEONORA SPEYER Poet's Biography First Line: Out of the storm that muffles shining night Last Line: And vanishes! Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening; Lightning; Storms; Lightning Rods | ||||||||
Out of the storm that muffles shining night Flash piteous roses ghastly-sweet And lilies far too white: There is a pang of green, A terror of familiarity; I see a dripping swirl of petalled things That I once tended happily, And paths I surely walked in that other life, Day. My pale ghost-garden gibbers at me Beckons horribly And vanishes! | Other Poems of Interest...BELLS IN THE ENDTIME OF GYURMEY TSULTRIM by NORMAN DUBIE BOLT FROM THE BLUE by GREGORY ORR THE YOUNG MYSTIC by LOUIS UNTERMEYER POSTSCRIPT; TO MAXIME KUMIN by ELEANOR WILNER THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#13): 2.
