Poetry examples for “fluting”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

You were that clear Sicilian fluting
That pains our thought even now.

What time of year the ground doves brown the fields
And fill the noonday with their curious fluting.
I have forgotten much, but still remember

Which, fluting like a river reed,
Comes from your trembling throat;

Of how your lady’s face and form were fair;
Put by your fluting; swell a martial air,
And spur us on with some prophetic word.”

You were that clear Sicilian fluting
That pains our thought even now.

Running to meet us came neighbours’ daughters nigh,
Fluting like birds, and calicoed bright and clean;

Fluting in the meadows, viols in the hall,

The little band-master
Whips up the fluting,
Hurries up the tooting.
