Explore "Rosemary" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Above her, pearl and rose the heavens lay; / Around her, flowers scattered earth with gold, / Or down the path in insolence held sway -- / Like cavaliers who ride the elves' highway -- / Scarlet and blue, within a garden old.
Beyond the hills, faint-heard through belts of wood, / Bells, Sabbath-sweet, swooned from some far-off town; / Gamboge and gold, broad sunset colors strewed / The purple west as if, with God imbued, / Her mighty pallet Nature there laid down.
