JUNE, 1915, by CHARLOTTE MEW Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Who thinks of june's first rose to-day? Last Line: Of the small eager hand, the shining eyes, the rough bright head? Subject(s): Women; World War I | |||
Who thinks of June's first rose today? Only some child, perhaps, with shining eyes and rough bright hair will reach it down. In a green sunny lane, to us almost as far away As are the fearless stars from these veiled lamps of town. What's little June to a great broken world with eyes gone dim From too much looking on the face of grief, the face of dread? Or what's the broken world to June and him Of the small eager hand, the shining eyes, the rough bright head? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...D'ANNUNZIO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY 1915: THE TRENCHES by CONRAD AIKEN TO OUR PRESIDENT by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES CHILDREN OF THE WAR by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE U-BOAT CREWS by KATHARINE LEE BATES |
