A Fragment Poem by Oscar Wilde
A Fragment
Beautiful star with the crimson lips
And flagrant daffodil hair,
Come back, come back, in the shaking ships
O'er the much-overrated sea,
To the hearts that are sick for thee
With a woe worse than mal de mer-
O beautiful stars with the crimson lips
And the flagrant daffodil hair. -
O ship that shakes on the desolate sea,
Neath the flag of the wan White Star,
Thou bringest a brighter star with thee
From the land of the Philistine,
Where Niagara's reckoned fine
And Tupper is popular-
O ship that shakes on the desolate sea,
Neath the flag of the wan White Star.
Beautiful star with crimson lips. Imaginative and romantic Oscar Wilde
I have the idea this ooem is for Afred Lord Douglas, his boyfriend years younger, their friendship was forbidden by Lord's Douglas father, that were very tumultuos years in Oscar Wild's life.
Nice poem blended with beautiful imageries. Sylva-Onyema Uba.
