THE WAYSIDE WEEDS, by ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE First Line: A dreamy day with opalescent sky Last Line: And kinship of all floral things assert. Subject(s): Fields; Weeds; Pastures; Meadows; Leas | ||||||||
A dreamy day with opalescent sky, And we together on the lazy road Whose purple distance amethystine glowed Against the pale green tints of ripening rye; While, far away, from some church belfry high, Faint sound of chiming bells sweet peace bestowed, And 'cross the hazy hilltops danced and flowed The emerald-tinted river. Near us lie The sun-flecked fields, where yellow mustard flaunts With milk-weed, pink and white, while Queen Anne's lace Its dainty flowers unfold, and spiderwert And daisies fresh bloom gayly in their haunts Along the dusty wayside, which they grace And kinship of all floral things assert. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HUNTING PHEASANTS IN A CORNFIELD by ROBERT BLY THREE KINDS OF PLEASURES by ROBERT BLY QUESTION IN A FIELD by LOUISE BOGAN THE LAST MOWING by ROBERT FROST FIELD AND FOREST by RANDALL JARRELL AN EXPLANATION by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON IN FIELDS OF SUMMER by GALWAY KINNELL MAIN STREET IN A FOG by ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE |
