INTERMEZZO; PASTORAL: 4. AT GLAN-Y-WERN: WHITE AND ROSE, by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS Poet's Biography First Line: White-robed against the threefold white Last Line: A tiger-lily sheathed in white. | ||||||||
White-robed against the threefold white Of shutter, glass, and curtains' lace, She flashed into the evening light The brilliance of her gipsy face: I saw the evening in her light. Clear, from the soft hair to the mouth, Her ardent face made manifest The sultry beauty of the South: Below, a red rose, climbing, pressed Against the roses of her mouth. So, in the window's threefold white, O'ertrailed with foliage like a bower, She seemed, against the evening light, Among the flowers herself a flower, A tiger-lily sheathed in white. | Other Poems of Interest...THE ABSINTHE-DRINKER by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS TO A PORTRAIT by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS A BROTHER OF THE BATTUTI by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS A TUNE by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS A WHITE NIGHT by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS AFTER LOVE by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS AIRS FOR THE LUTE: 1 by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS AIRS FOR THE LUTE: 2 by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS AIRS FOR THE LUTE: 3 by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS AIRS FOR THE LUTE: 4 by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS |
