Poems by Dorothy Parker
Purposely Ungrammatical Love Song
... There's mourning hearts for my heart isThere's honester eyes than your blue eyes, ...
Recurrence
... Trace the dripping, pierced heart, ...
Renunciation
... Languorous-lidded Helen hadEyes more blue than e'er the sky was ...
Requiescat
... Where none may see and none shall pass ...
Roundel
... What fostered charms with virtue could compare ...
Salome's Dancing-Lesson
... (Step and turn! Step and turn!)Veils are woven to be dropped ...
Sanctuary
... The clouds are low along the ridges, ...
Sight
... Oh, better far their gaze were hidden ...
Social Note
... One whose ways are all discreet, ...
Somebody's Song
... Swift the measured sands may run ...
Song Of One Of The Girls
... I'm Judith, and Jael, and Madame de Stael ...
Sonnet On An Alpine Night
... Begging the brambles that her robe had passed, ...
Story
... I hope Her mother washed her mouth with soap ...
Summary
... That's the measure of my lore- ...
Surprise
... That one shall weep, and one shall stray ...
