Poetry examples for “curd”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

And with the damp of her last gasps obsctiredi
Had drawn such stains as weie not to be curd.]
Fate could aat clthvr reach with single stroke,

Of candied apple, quince, and plum, and gourd
With jellies soother than the creamy curd,
And lucent syrops, tinct with cinnamon;

But the city, oh, the city--the square with the houses! Why?
They are stone-faced, white as a curd, there's something to take the
eye!

And now the sparrows warring in the eaves,
The curd-pale moon, the white stars in the sky,
And the loud chaunting of the unquiet leaves,
