PINK ALMOND, by KATHARINE TYNAN Poet's Biography First Line: So delicate, so airy Last Line: Her roses on the grey. Alternate Author Name(s): Hinkson, Katharine Tynan Subject(s): Almond Trees; Flowers; Roses; Trees | ||||||||
SO delicate, so airy, The almond on the tree, Pink stars that some good fairy Has made for you and me. A little cloud of roses, All in a world of grey, The almond flower uncloses Upon the wild March day. A mist of roses blowing The way of fog and sleet, A dust of roses showing For grey dust in the street. Pink snow upon the branches, Pink snowflakes falling down In rosy avalanches Upon the dreary town. A rain, a shower of roses, All in a roseless day; The almond-tree uncloses Her roses on the grey. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PROBLEM OF DESCRIBING TREES by ROBERT HASS THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MIDNIGHT EDEN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN REFLECTION OF THE WOOD by LEONIE ADAMS THE LIFE OF TREES by DORIANNE LAUX |
