Solitaire (Amy Lowell Poems)
WHEN night drifts along the streets of the city, And sifts down between the uneven roofs, My mind begins to peek and peer. It plays at ball in old, blue Chinese gardens, And shakes wrought dice-cups in Pagan temples, Amid … Continue reading
Haunted (Amy Lowell Poems)
See! He trails his toesThrough the long streaks of moonlight,And the nails of his fingers glitter:They claw and flash among the tree-tops.His lips suck at my open window,And his breath creeps about my bodyAnd lies in pools under my knees.I … Continue reading
Reflections (Amy Lowell Poems)
When I looked into your eyes, I saw a garden With peonies, and tinkling pagodas, And round-arched bridges Over still lakes. A woman sat beside the water In a rain-blue, silken garment. She reached through the water To pluck the … Continue reading
Generations (Amy Lowell Poems)
You are like the stemOf a young beech-tree,Straight and swaying,Breaking out in golden leaves.Your walk is like the blowing of a beech-treeOn a hill.Your voice is like leavesSoftly struck upon by a South wind.Your shadow is no shadow, but a … Continue reading

To-Morrow To Fresh Woods And Pastures New (Amy Lowell Poems)

Bullion (Amy Lowell Poems)

Opal (Amy Lowell Poems)
You are ice and fire,The touch of you burns my hands like snow.You are cold and flame.You are the crimson of amaryllis,The silver of moon-touched magnolias.When I am with you,My heart is a frozen pondGleaming with agitated torches. Amy Lowell … Continue reading
