THE GLORY OF GRAY, by CHRISTINE F. BRONSON First Line: Gray of the moss and gray of the rocks Last Line: Glory of gray, mild and tender. Subject(s): Gray (color); Grey (color) | ||||||||
Gray of the moss and gray of the rocks, And gray of the sea-birds feather; Gray of the mist and the hovering sky, Soft gray of the tranquil weather. Gray of the plume and gray of the pearl, Gray of the silk worm's spinning; Gray of the cradle where jewels bed, And gray of the dawn's beginning. Blessing of gray unto tired eyes, A foil for the rainbow's splendor; Beauty of gray in the ash of flame. Glory of gray, mild and tender. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PRIME OF LIFE by WALTER LEARNED LEAVES, SHADOWS, AND DREAMS by WILLIAM SHARP THE REASON WHY by AMELIA WOODWARD TRUESDELL FLOCKS AND HERDS by KATHARINE TYNAN THE GREY MORNINGS by KATHARINE TYNAN DEAD LOVE (HEARD SUNG BY AN OLD WOMAN OF THE ISLAND OF TIREE) by ANONYMOUS FLAME LILIES by CHRISTINE F.
