I rest content; I kiss your eyes, I kiss your hair in my delight: I kiss my hand and say "Good-night." - Songs of the Sun-Lands--Islands of the Amazons (pt. V, introd. st.) [Kisses] The gold-barr'd butterflies to and from And over the waterside wander'd and wove As heedless and idle as clouds that rove And drift by the peaks of perpetual snow. - Songs of the Sun-Lands--Isles of the Amazons (pt. III, st. 41) [Butterflies] The east is blossoming! Yea, a rose, Vast as the heavens, soft as a kiss, Sweet as the presence of woman is, Rises and reaches, and widens and grows Large and luminous up from the sea, And out of the sea, as a blossoming tree, Richer and richer, so higher and higher, Deeper and deeper it takes its hue; Brighter and brighter it reaches through The space of heaven and the place of stars, Till all is as rich as a rose can be, And my rose-leaves fall into billows of fire. - Sunrise in Venice [Sunrise] The bravest battle that ever was fought; Shall I tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you will find it not; It was fought by the mothers of men. - The Bravest Battle--Mothers of Men [Motherhood] Displaying page 2 of 2 for this author: << Prev 1 [2]
