Amy Lowell was an American poet who was active in the early 20th century. One of her most famous poems is "Madonna of the Evening Flowers," which was published in her collection "Men, Women, and Ghosts" in 1916.
The poem is a sonnet, and it describes a woman who is like a Madonna, or a virgin Mary figure, surrounded by evening flowers. The speaker of the poem compares the woman to a "queen" who is "crowned with evening flowers," and describes her as having a "calm, inscrutable face."
The speaker goes on to describe the woman's beauty, saying that her eyes are "dark and deep" and her lips are "red and full." The speaker also compares the woman's beauty to that of a "star," saying that she is "radiant" and "luminous."
The speaker then shifts focus to the evening flowers that surround the woman, saying that they are "heavy with perfume," and that their "sweetness fills the air." The speaker also describes the woman's dress as being "white," which adds to the Madonna-like imagery of the poem.
Overall, "Madonna of the Evening Flowers" is a beautiful and evocative poem that celebrates the beauty and mystery of womanhood. Lowell's use of imagery and metaphor helps to create a sense of awe and reverence for the subject of the poem, and the sonnet form adds structure and depth to the piece.

You tell me these things. You tell me these things. Then I see you, Standing under a spire of pale blue larkspur, With a basket of roses on your arm. How could so exact a portrait remain unrecognized? But I look at you, heart of silver, White heart-flame of polished silver, Burning beneath the blue steeples of the larkspur, And I long to kneel instantly at your feet, While all about us peal the loud, sweet Te Deums of the Canterbury bells.
