ON READING A FRAGMENT CALLED THE FLOWER OF THE FOREST, by LUCRETIA MARIA DAVIDSON First Line: Sing on, sweetest songster the woodland can boast Last Line: By sorrow's sigh farm'd, and bedew'd by a tear. Subject(s): Flowers | ||||||||
Sing on, sweetest songster the woodland can boast; Sing on, for it charms, tho' it sorrows my breast; The strains, tho' so mournful, shall never be lost, Till this throbbing bosom has murmur'd to rest. The sweet Flower of the Forest on memory's page Shall bloom undecaying while life lingers near, Unhurt by the storms which around it shall rage, By sorrow's sigh farm'd, and bedew'd by a tear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEY SAW THE PROBLEM by MARK JARMAN SHAKE THE SUPERFLUX! by DAVID LEHMAN THE M??TIER OF BLOSSOMING by DENISE LEVERTOV TANKA DIARY (6) by HARRYETTE MULLEN VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN FORCED BLOOM by STEPHEN ELLIOTT DUNN A DREAM by LUCRETIA MARIA DAVIDSON |
