Poems by Sylvia Plath
A Secret
... Behind two eyes in which nothing is reflected but monkeys ...
Winter Landscape, With Rooks
... what solace can be struck from rock to make heart's waste ...
Fever 103°
... high-ranking angels mentioned in the Bible, often depicted in paintings as winged babies or toddlers ...
The Couriers
... The word of a snail on the plate of a leaf ...
Lady Lazarus
... — The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth ...
Danse Macabre
... With kiss of cinders, ghosts descend, ...
Polly's Tree
... as the halo rayed round a candle flame, ...
The Everlasting Monday
... Now works his hell of Mondays in the moon's ball, ...
Moonrise
... Where small ants roll their eggs, where grubs fatten ...
Dark Wood, Dark Water
... And while the air's clear ...
Ariel
... And now I Foam to wheat, a glitter of seas ...
Blackberrying
... Hanging their bluegreen bellies and their wing panes in a Chinese screen ...
You’re
... s mode. Wrapped up in yourself like a spool, ...
Daddy
... Ach, du. In the German tongue, in the Polish town ...
Nick and the Candlestick
... Gulps and recovers its small altitude, ...
