MOTHER AND DAUGHTER; AN UNCOMPLETED SONNET SEQUENCE: 12, by AUGUSTA DAVIES WEBSTER Poet's Biography First Line: She has made me wayside posies: here they stand Last Line: A presence of my darling mingling there. Alternate Author Name(s): Home, Cecil; Webster, Mrs. Julia Augusta Subject(s): Mothers & Daughters; Posies | |||
She has made me wayside posies: here they stand, Bringing fresh memories of where they grew. As new-come travellers from a world we knew Wake every while some image of their land, So these whose buds our woodland breezes fanned Bring to my room the meadow where they blew, The brook-side cliff, the elms where wood-doves coo-- And every flower is dearer for her hand. Oh blossoms of the paths she loves to tread, Some grace of her is in all thoughts you bear: For in my memories of your homes that were The old sweet loneliness they kept is fled, And would I think it back I find instead A presence of my darling mingling there. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POSIES by AGNES MARY F.
