THRICE happy day, that saw our Fair Maid's eyes First open to the sunshine! Art thou come To see if yet the light of Paradise Has faded from them, in her earthly home? Nay, there it shines! As innocent and true As that first day, she dwells among us yet; Look in those eyes of Heaven's serenest blue, And see the Heaven she never can forget. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BIRTHDAY (AUTOBIOGRAPHY) by ROBINSON JEFFERS POEM FOR MY TWENTIETH BIRTHDAY by KENNETH KOCH A HAPPY BIRTHDAY by TED KOOSER FOR A SOLDIER'S BIRTHDAY by EVE MERRIAM PICTURE THIS:/ FOR THE 100TH BIRTHDAY OF QUEEN ELIZABETH THE QUEEN MOTHER by ANDREW MOTION POEM FOR MY BIRTHDAY by LISEL MUELLER A PAINTED FAN by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON |
