STRAWBERRIES, by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK Poet's Biography First Line: We wandered in the woodland dim Last Line: The baby's drumming with his spoon. Subject(s): Strawberries | |||
What dream-peacock, this moon. With voice of silence, Bejeweled with the golden stars, With its spread fan, the tree What dance, this? What rain-cloud hath it seen In the sky of night's intangibility? I wooed her by the sapphire sea, And heard the mating bluebird pipe A prescience full of joy to me. And when the wedding bells rang free, And all our thoughts flowed on like rhyme, The blush was on the strawberry The strawberry was in its prime. Two years have swiftly flown since then Two happy years once more the birds And strawberries are in the glen, That heard of love our whispered words. The honeysuckle freights the breeze, The garden blows rose-red with June, And on his plate of strawberries The baby's drumming with his spoon. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STRAWBERRY FETE by ELAINE TERRANOVA WILD STRAWBERRIES by HELEN DUNMORE MILLIONS OF STRAWBERRIES by GENEVIEVE TAGGARD NETTED STRAWBERRIES by GORDON BOTTOMLEY MY STRAWBERRY by HELEN MARIA HUNT FISKE JACKSON BITTER STRAWBERRIES by SYLVIA PLATH STRAWBERRY TIME by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER SUMMER FRUITS by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER BLOOD SEED by GEORGE ADDISON SCARBROUGH AT THE SHRINE by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK |
