TO MY CHILDREN: 7. IN THE WOODS, by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD Poet's Biography First Line: Are your grave eyes graver growing? Last Line: Where I find my flowers. Alternate Author Name(s): Radford, Ernest, Mrs. Subject(s): Forests; Woods | ||||||||
ARE your grave eyes graver growing? Sweetheart, may I look At the treasured thoughts which move you In the poet's book? Stay not in the lazy shade With the drowsy roses; Come into the woods and see Where I find my posies. Has the buried singer left us Songs to make you weep? Are you saddened by the sorrow That his numbers keep? Or were all the songs he gave us Born in happy hours? Come with me, he found his music Where I find my flowers. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PRINCESS WAKES IN THE WOOD by RANDALL JARRELL CHAMBER MUSIC: 20 by JAMES JOYCE ADVICE TO A FOREST by MAXWELL BODENHEIM A SOUTH CAROLINA FOREST by AMY LOWELL JOY IN THE WOODS by CLAUDE MCKAY IN BLACKWATER WOODS by MARY OLIVER THE PLACE I WANT TO GET BACK TO by MARY OLIVER TO MY CHILDREN: 3 by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD |
