BY CANDLELIGHT, by MARION BRINSON First Line: Flicker-flicker Last Line: With golden benediction. | |||
Flicker-flicker Sharp blows a gust And our little yellow blades Stream red from side to side And flare and fall -- While strange figures of shade and light Dance arcross the tablecloth, Slide over plates and urn, Glint over fingernails, Deepen expression, Smooth away wrinkles, Soften outline And touch bowed heads With golden benediction. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WORD OF AN ENGINEER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A PETITION TO TIME by BRYAN WALLER PROCTER LOUIS XV by JOHN STERLING (1806-1844) SOURCE by KENNETH SLADE ALLING THE MERCHANT OF VENICE; A LEGEND OF ITALY by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM |
