THREE SISTERS, by HELEN FRAZEE-BOWER First Line: Johanna talks of lemuel Last Line: When she is sitting so. Alternate Author Name(s): Bower, W. M., Mrs. Subject(s): Curiosities & Wonders; Sisters; Enigmas; Oddities | ||||||||
Johanna talks of Lemuel And I of spinning sing But Emily sits all alone Nor speaks of anything. The thoughtless words Johanna drops Are dull and little worth, They sink to rest with those I speak, As pebbles fall to earth. The silent words of Emily, I wonder where they go -- The secret things she does not say, When she is sitting so. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SOME LAST QUESTIONS by WILLIAM STANLEY MERWIN OFAY-WATCHER LOOKS BACK by MONGANE WALLY SEROTE TO ONE WHO ASKS by MARY REYNOLDS ALDIS DEAD MEN, TO A METAPHYSICIAN by WILLIAM HERVEY ALLEN JR.
