A NEW WORLD, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: A new world calls, in voices loud and strange Last Line: And music that was once an irish row. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Alcoholism & Alcoholics; Music & Musicians; Drunkards; Alcohol Abuse | ||||||||
A new World calls, in voices loud and strange, But what they mean or say no man can prove; Like cats at night, we do not know their game, Whether they scream for murder or for love. They come along with many a blinded rush, And have no sense in sight, or force of will; Like drunken men, impelled to walk or run, Because they have no power to stand up still. Beauty and Music lie beyond their thoughts, And what they say or mean, no man can know; They give us warts in place of Beauty's moles And Music that was once an Irish row. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NO NONSENSE by CHARLES BUKOWSKI THE REPLACEMENTS by CHARLES BUKOWSKI BELLEVUE EXCHANGE by NORMAN DUBIE EVEN NOW YOU ARE LEAVING by TESS GALLAGHER ANY NEWS FROM ALPHA CENTAURI by ANSELM HOLLO A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
