MOTHERS' EYES, by DIANA KEARNY POWELL First Line: Immortal blue, so gentle, holy, true Last Line: The blue, blue tenderness of mother eyes. Subject(s): Eyes; Mothers | ||||||||
Immortal blue, so gentle, holy, true, -- The blue that was the color of her eyes! If I should run the gamut of each hue, I'd choose the dearest, noblest shade, the blue Of murmuring seas beneath October skies. For ragged robin and the indigo, That rival sapphire wings of butterflies, For far-off hills and shadows on the snow I thank the Lord, but thank him most to know The blue, blue tenderness of mother eyes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY MOTHER'S HANDS by ANDREW HUDGINS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS IN THE 25TH YEAR OF MY MOTHER'S DEATH by JUDY JORDAN THE PAIDLIN' WEAN by ALEXANDER ANDERSON BLASTING FROM HEAVEN by PHILIP LEVINE RAINPATTER by DIANA KEARNY POWELL TO THE UNKNOWN EROS: BOOK 1: 12.
