VALENTINE: TO MISS A. C. L., by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT Poet's Biography First Line: Thy life is like a fountain clear, upspringing Last Line: While earth's fair lilies float upon its breast. Alternate Author Name(s): Greenwood, Grace Subject(s): Holidays; Valentine's Day | ||||||||
THY life is like a fountain clear, upspringing Beside the weary way I'm treading now; I love to linger near, and feel it flinging Its pure baptism on my fevered brow. Thy gentle heart is like the couch of resting, That welcomes home the wanderer of the deep, To my tired spirit, weary with long breasting The midnight waves that round about me sweep. Thy soul is like a silver lake at even, Emblem of power, and purity, and rest, -- Within its depths the eternal stars of heaven, While earth's fair lilies float upon its breast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DARKENED HOURS by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT DREAMS by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT EMILIE PLATER by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT FANNY FORESTER by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT HERVEY TO NINA - MISS BREMER by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT I WILL NEVER GROW OLD by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT ILLUMINATION FOR VICTORIES IN MEXICO by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT INVOCATION TO MOTHER EARTH by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT LOVE'S EMBLEMS by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT LOVE-LETTER TO A FRIEND by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT |
