I found this.. which i love.. but i realized, i was really thinking of an other poem.. maybe i can find it.. a something tells me its by Christina Rossetti..
but for colors, this is beautiful!
Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924.
I ’LL tell you how the sun rose,—
A ribbon at a time.
The steeples swam in amethyst,
The news like squirrels ran.
The hills untied their bonnets, 5
The bobolinks begun.
Then I said softly to myself,
“That must have been the sun!”
But how he set, I know not.
There seemed a purple stile 10
Which little yellow boys and girls
Were climbing all the while
Till when they reached the other side,
A dominie in gray
Put gently up the evening bars, 15
And led the flock away.
and amethyst reminds me.. (please help whitmen..)
the Paul Simon song, For Emily, When i Find Her..
What a dream i had, dress in organdy,
of smoky amethyst--
well something like that..only better! i remember it as filled with colors.. but i suspect is not filled, but just a few wonderful colors..like smokey amethyst!
its an old one..from the days of Simon and Garfunkle.
