BESSIE'S BONNET, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: Bessie hath a dimpled chin Last Line: Of her dainty bonnet. Subject(s): Hats | |||
Bessie hath a dimpled chin, Mouth with smile upon it, Eyes of blue to glory in, But -- she hath a bonnet. That's the only thing I see When she dares to don it; Climax of all witchery Lies in Bessie's bonnet. Yet, though I have sung the spell Oft in many a sonnet, To this day I cannot tell One thing that is on it. Were it off her dainty head, Who would care to con it? She's the charm, when all is said, Of her dainty bonnet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TENDER BUTTONS: COLORED HATS by GERTRUDE STEIN THE QUANGLE WANGLE'S HAT by EDWARD LEAR SHE LOOKS BEYOND TO-MORROW by RUTH FITCH BARTLETT DRAB BONNETS by BERNARD BARTON TO LADY CHARLOTTYE GORDON; DRESSED IN A TARTAN SCOTCH BONNET by JAMES BEATTIE COCK UP YOUR BEAVER by ROBERT BURNS MOTHER'S BONNET by NATHALIA CRANE A BATTLE SONG (WRITTEN IN THE WORLD WAR) by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
