Explore "Flapper" by D.H. Lawrence on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
LOVE has crept out of her sealéd heart / As a field-bee, black and amber, / Breaks from the winter-cell, to clamber / Up the warm grass where the sunbeams start.
Mischief has come in her dawning eyes, / And a glint of coloured iris brings / Such as lies along the folded wings / Of the bee before he flies.
Who, with a ruffling, careful breath, / Has opened the wings of the wild young sprite? / Has fluttered her spirit to stumbling flight / In her eyes, as a young bee stumbleth?
Love makes the burden of her voice. / The hum of his heavy, staggering wings / Sets quivering with wisdom the common things / That she says, and her words rejoice.
