Poetry examples for “lavender”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

The hoar-green feathery herb, almost a tree,
Growing with rosemary and lavender.
Even to one that knows it well, the names

And still she slept an azure-lidded sleep,
In blanched linen, smooth, and lavender'd,
While he from forth the closet brought a heap

went by my side so many years: this full, fragile
head of veined lavender. Oh that April
that we first went with our stiff lusts

magenta speck and this
little lavender!
Home now, my mind!--
