PROMENADE, by JOHN GALSWORTHY Poet's Biography First Line: All sweet and startled gravity Last Line: To tell the secret: whence the pollen blows! Alternate Author Name(s): Sinjohn, John | |||
ALL sweet and startled gravity, My Love comes walking from the Park; Her eyes are full of what they've seen -- The little bushes puffing green, The candles pale that light the chestnut-trees, The tulip and the jonquil spies; The sunshine and the sudden dark; The dance of buds; and Madam Dove, Sir Blackbird fluting to his Love -- These little loves my Love has in her eyes. In dainty shoes and subtle hose My Love comes walking from the Park; She is, I swear, the sweetest thing That ever left the heart of Spring To tell the secret: Whence the pollen blows! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ACCEPTATION by JOHN GALSWORTHY AMBERELY WILDBROOKS by JOHN GALSWORTHY AT VALDEMOSA: MALLORCA by JOHN GALSWORTHY AUTUMN BY THE SEA by JOHN GALSWORTHY AVOWAL, FR.
