THE BEAUTIFUL TOILET, by MEI SHENG First Line: Blue, blue is the grass about the river Last Line: And leaves her too much alone. | |||
Blue, blue is the grass about the river And the willows have overfilled the close garden. And within, the mistress, in the midmost of her youth, White, white of face, hesitates, passing the door. Slender, she puts forth a slender hand; And she was a courtezan in the old days, And she has married a sot, Who now goes drunkenly out And leaves her too much alone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE REVEILLE by FRANCIS BRET HARTE MARY MAGDALENE by GEORGE HERBERT LINES WRITTEN IN AN OVID by MATTHEW PRIOR THE CASE OF DOMINEERING JOHN ALEXIS UPHAM by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS L'AMOUR DU MENSONGE by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE RUE DU BOIS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE AUTHOR OF 'THE GREAT ILLUSION' by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
