Personification Poems
Personification Poems are where objects and items such as flowers, trains or tables take on human traits, emotions and characteristics. Such as Cupid personifying human love. Our collection of Family Poems has many of them. You can empathize and connect as an outside observer to these poems and they often affect you more deeply than you can imagine.-Grandma Mary
A Grotto In Devonshire by John Carr
Tell me, thou grotto! o'er whose brow are seen
Projecting plumes, and shades of deep'ning green,--
While not a sound disturbs thy stony hall,
While all thy dewy drops forget to fall,--
Why canst thou not thy soothing charms impart,
And shed thy quiet o'er this beating heart?
Tell me, thou richly-painted river! tell,
That on thy mirror'd plane dost mimic well
Each pendent tree and every distant hill,
Tipp'd with red lustre, beauteous, bright, and still,--
A Shell by Fannie Sherrick
Oh, take this shell, this pretty thing
With tinted waves of pearly red;
Hold close your ear and hear it sing,
Then tell me what its voice hath said.
King Cotton by Horatio Alger Jr.
King Cotton looks from his window
Towards the westering sun,
And he marks, with an anguished horror,
That his race is almost run.
Laughing Song by William Blake
When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
When the air does laugh with our merry wit,
And the green hill laughs with the noise of it;
The Bells by Edgar Allen Poe
Hear the sledges with the bells--
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In their icy air of night!
The Rivulet by William Cullen Bryant
This little rivulet, that from the springs
Of yonder grove its current brings,
Plays on the slope a while, and then
Goes prattling into groves again...
Time And The Lover by John Carr
Oh, Time! thy merits who can know?
Thy real nature who discover?
The absent lover calls thee slow,--
"Too rapid," says the happy lover.
To An Auricula by John Carr
Thou rearest thy beauteous head, sweet flower
Gemmed by the soft and vernal shower;
Its drops still round thee shine:
The florist views thee with delight;
And, if so precious in _his_ sight,
Oh! what art thou in _mine_?
To The Moon by John Carr
Thou, lamp! the gods benignly gave,
To light a lover on his way;
Thou, Moon! along the silv'ry wave,
Ah! safe this flutt'ring heart convey:
The Bull Spring by George Doneghy
When the burning sun of Summer shines from out a brassy sky,
And has parched and browned the meadows, and the creek's run dry,
O sweet it is to wander there and hear the water sing
It's rippling song of gladness from the
Old "Bull Spring!"
Twin Lillies by Fannie Sherrick
Twin lilies in the river floating,
Two lilies pure and white;
And one is pale and faintly drooping,
The other glad and bright.
