Shadows Poem by Djuna Barnes
Shadows
A LITTLE trellis stood beside my head,
And all the tiny fruitage of its vine
Fashioned a shadowy cover to my bed,
And I was madly drunk on shadow wine!
A lily bell hung sidewise, leaning down,
And gowned me in a robe so light and long;
And so I dreamed, and drank, and slept, and heard
The lily's song.
Lo, for a house, the shadow of the moon;
For golden money, all the daisy rings;
And for my love, the meadow at my side -
Thus tramps are kings!
'And for my love, the meadow at my side - Such a beautiful work of art.
And for my love, the meadow at my side - Such a beautiful work of art.
Lo, for a house, the shadow of the moon; For golden money, all the daisy rings; And for my love, the meadow at my side - Thus tramps are kings! .....................................Beautiful poem, impressively presented. Loveliest!
