BEGGAR'S SONG, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Good people keep their holy day Last Line: And tender feelings in your heart. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Begging & Beggars | ||||||||
Good people keep their holy day, They rest from labour on a Sunday; But we keep holy every day, And rest from Monday until Monday. And yet the noblest work on earth Is done when beggars do their part: They work, dear ladies, on the soft And tender feelings in your heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GENERATIONS by LUCILLE CLIFTON HUMAN INTERLUDE by JACK HIRSCHMAN AFTER UNGARETTI; I.M.
