Symphony in Yellow - Oscar Wilde

December 2nd 2008 08:19

Poetry of Oscar Wilde

Charmides and Other Poems

SYMPHONY IN YELLOW

An omnibus across the bridge
Crawls like a yellow butterfly

And, here and there, a passer-by
Shows like a little restless midge.

Big barges full of yellow hay
Are moored against the shadowy wharf,
And, like a yellow silken scarf,
The thick fog hangs along the quay.

The yellow leaves begin to fade
And flutter from the Temple elms,
And at my feet the pale green Thames
Lies like a rod of rippled jade.

Good ole Oscar Wilde. . . I never did really get what he's about.

I don't think he's a favourite with many, but OK by me.
