        BURNT ARE THE PETALS OF 

                                 LIFE 



    BURNT are the petals of life as a rose fallen and crumbled to dust。 

    Blackened the heart of the past is�察�ashes that must Forever be sifted�察�

more precious than sunbeams that open the budding to´morrow。 Once was 

a   passion   completed�察�too   perfect�察  �the   Gods   have   not   broken   to   borrow´ 

Blackened the heart of the past is�察 �ashes that  must Forever   be sifted。  O�察�

loving to´morrow The rose of the past is�察�Life´Eternity's dust。

                           RESPIGHI 



    FRESH mists of Roman dawn�察�For water search the cattle�察�Faintlv on 

damp air sounds the shepherd's horn Above fountain Giulia's prattle。 

    Triton�察 �joyous   and  loud  Of  Naiads  summons     troops�察 �A   frenziedly 

leaping and mingling crowd�察�Dancing�察�pursuing groups。 

    At high noon the trumpets peal�察�Neptune's chariot passes by�察�Trains of 

sirens�察�tritons�察�Trevi's jets heat Then trumpets' echoes sigh。 

    Tolling bell and sunset�察�Twittering birds and calm�察�Medici's fountain�察�

shimmering net�察�Into the night brings balm。

                                 TROPICS 



    THE cretonne in your willow chair Shows through a zone of rosy air�察�

A tree of parrots�察�agate´eyed�察�With blue´green crests and plumes of pride 

And beaks most formidably curved。 I hear the river�察�silver´nerved�察�To their 

shrill protests make reply�察�And the palm forest stir and sigh。 

    Curious�察�the spell that colors cast�察�Binding the fancy coweb´fast�察�And 

you would smile if you could know I like your cretonne parrots so� �But I 

have seen them sail toward night Superbly homeward�察�the last light Lifting 

them like a   purple sea   Scorned   and made   use of arrogantly�察�And   I have 

heard    them   cry  aloud   〃From   out   a  tall  palm's  emerald   cloud�察  �And   I 

brought home a brilliant feather�察�Lost like a flake of sunset weather。 

    Here in the north the sea is white And mother´of´pearl in morning light�察�

Quite lovely�察�but   there is a   glare That daunts me。 Now   the willow   chair 

Suggests   a   more   perplexing   sea�察  �Till   my   heart   aches   with   memory And 

parrots    dye  the  air  around�察  �And    I  forget  the  pallid  Sound。    GRACE

            TO HILDA OF HER ROSES 



    ENOUGH has been said about roses To fill thirty thick volumes�察�There 

are   as  many   songs    about   roses  As   there  are  roses   in  the  world   That 

includes Mexico 。 。 。 the Azores 。。。 Oregon 。。。 

    It is a pity your roses Are too late for Omar 。 。 。 It is a pity Keats has 

gone 。 。 。 

    Yet    there   must   be  something     left  to  say   Of  flowers    like  these� �

Adventurers�察  �They   pushed   their   way   Through   dewy   tunnels   of   the   June 

night Now they confer。。。。。 A little tremulous。。。。。 Dazzled by the yellow sea´ 

beach of morning 

    If   Herrick   would   tiptoe   back   。   。   。   If   Blake   were   to   look   this   way

feathers red and blue�察�Yellow and black�察�You have a comb gay as a parade 

On   your   head�此�You   have   pearl   trinkets   On   your   feet�此  �The   short   feathers 

smooth along your back Are the dark color of wet rocks�察�Or the rippled 

green of ships When I look at their sides through water。 I don't know how 

you happened to be made So proud�察�so foolish�察�Wearing your coat of many

    THIS pansy has a thinking face Like the yellow moon。 This one has a 

face with white blots�察�I call him the clown。 Here goes one down the grass 

With a pretty look of plumpness�察�She is a little girl going to school With 

her hands in the pockets of her pinafore。 Her name is Sue。 I like this one�察�

in a bonnet�察�Waiting�察�Her eyes are so deep� �But these on the other side�察�

These that wear purple and blue�察�They are the Velvets�察�The king with his 

cloak�察�The   queen   with her gown�察�The   prince   with   his   feather。 These   are 

dark and quiet And stay alone。 I know you�察�Velvets�察�Color of Dark�察�Like 

the pine´tree on the hill When stars shine� �

book Of little verses�察�or a dancing child。 My heart turns crying from the 

rose   and   book�察  �My   heart   turns   crying   from   the   thin   bright   moon�察  �And 

weeps with useless sorrow for the child。 The Moods have loosed a wind to 

vex my hair�察�And made my heart too wise�察�that was a child。 

    Now   I   shall   blow   like   smitten   candle´flame�此  �I   shall   desire   all   things 

that may not be�此�The years�察�the stars�察�the souls of ancient men�察�All tears 

that must�察�and smiles that may not be�察�Yes�察�glimmering lights across a 

windy ford�察�And vagrant voices on a darkened plain�察�And holy things�察�and 

outcast things�察�and things�察�Far too remote�察�frail´bodied to be plain。 

    My pity and my joy are grown alike。 I cannot sweep the strangeness 

from   my   heart。   The   Moods   have   laid   swift   hands   across   my   hair�此  �The 

Moods have drawn   swift   fingers through   my  heart。  FANNIE  STEARNS
