AGLAIA, by HENRY PATMORE Poet's Biography First Line: The tamarisks bowed their heads, compelled Last Line: Rise in the happy air. | |||
THE tamarisks bowed their heads, compelled By no ungentle force; The breeze a sunny fragrance held, Mingled of sea and gorse; And on the turf the daisies shone; The heaving turf's desire Was plainly to be trodden on; The daisies were on fire For something far more pure and warm Than they; and on them there I, for a moment, saw thy form Rise in the happy air. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ANGEL'S ALMANAC by HENRY PATMORE HOW LOUDLY MOANS THE UNHAPPY WEST by HENRY PATMORE MADONNA, LADY WHOM WITH HEAVENLY FEAR by HENRY PATMORE THE THING THAT MAKES ME PATRIOT MOST by HENRY PATMORE THE TRUTH IS MALE, AND FEMALES SHY by HENRY PATMORE NIGHT IS THE LIGHT OF MY PLEASURE' by HENRY PATMORE THE FLOWER BOAT by ROBERT FROST QUATORZAINS: 5.
