Knowst thou the land where the lemon trees bloom,
Where the gold orange glows in the deep thicket's gloom,
Where a wind ever soft from the blue heaven blows,
And the groves are of laurel and myrtle and rose?
--
Bk. III, Ch. 1Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
» Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - all quotes »
On a blue island in a sky-wide water
The wild orange trees continued to bloom and to bear,
Long after the planter’s death.Wallace Stevens
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave,
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave.Seal (musician)
Ooh, the more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave.Seal (musician)
These in the robings of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat,
All with the battle-blood gory,
In the dusk of eternity meet;—
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day;—
Under the laurel the Blue,
Under the willow, the Gray.Francis Miles Finch
Its edges foamed with amethyst and rose,
Withers once more the old blue flower of day:
There where the ether like a diamond glows
Its petals fade away.George William Russell
