Laurie Lee Green Poems
- 1. April Rise
If ever I saw blessing in the air
I see it now in this still early day
Where lemon-green the vaporous morning drips
Wet sunlight on the powder of my eye.
... - 2. Apples
Behold the applesâ?? rounded worlds:
juice-green of July rain,
the black polestar of flowers, the rind
mapped with its crimson stain.
... - 3. Home From Abroad
Far-fetched with tales of other worlds and ways,
My skin well-oiled with wines of the Levant,
I set my face into a filial smile
To greet the pale, domestic kiss of Kent.
