BIRD AND CLOUD, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Lord, if that cloud still grows and swells Last Line: And his mind has no complaint? Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Contentment; Seasons; Summer; Sun | ||||||||
Lord, if that Cloud still grows and swells, To reach the Sun at last What a fine nipple she will have On the top of her white breast! And does this Blackbird, singing here, Up on my Sycamore bough, Make that his richest Summer's yarn, To last the season through; Or is he blind, to Cloud and Sun, And sings but from content Because his body feels no pain, And his mind has no complaint? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN AGAINST EXCESS OF SEA OR SUN OR REASON by WILLIAM MEREDITH WHY I WAKE EARLY by MARY OLIVER CONTRA MORTEM: THE SUN by HAYDEN CARRUTH SERPENT SUN EYE BEWITCHING MY EYE by AIME CESAIRE A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
