Wilfrid Wilson Gibson Poems

  • Wings

    Among marsh-marigolds and splashing wet
    Green leaves and yellow blooms, like jewels set
    In bright, black mud, with clear drops crystal-cool, ...
  • Reveille
    Still bathed in its moonlight slumber, the little white house by the cedar
    Stands silent against the red dawn;
    And nothing I know of who sleeps there, to the travail of day yet unwakened,

Ella Wheeler Wilcox Poem
Answered Prayers
 by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I prayed for riches, and achieved success;
