Symphony In Yellow Poem by Oscar Wilde
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.
So full of the colour and song of the day and full of the colour and song of Oscar.W's mind. I love his style.
I like how he painted his scenery- - the images of the bus and people and barge and wharf and fog and leaves weave together a Symphony In Yellow
What a poem! Full of imagery...like a camera scanning a landscape...
this poem resonates with Théophile Gauthier's poem 'Symphony in White Major', which Wilde appreciated very highly.
A beautiful melody, rich in rhyme and rhythm about the symphony in yellow presented by nature and surroundings making it well deserved modern poem of the Day.
