F IS FOR FIDDLES, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: What an enchanted world is this Last Line: We leap the winter into spring. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Fiddles; Musical Instruments | ||||||||
What an enchanted world is this, What music I have heard: And when I hear these Master fiddlers play, I ask -- 'Are these not marvellous men?' So, since such men command the sweetest sounds, I'll have no fear to leave my solitude Of woods and fields, And join the human multitude; To hear a Master's hand express The very soul and tenderness Heard when a pigeon's cooing there; To hear him make the robin sob again, In Autumn, when the trees go bare; Till -- touching one lamb-bleating string -- We leap the Winter into Spring. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DRUMS AND BRASS by DONALD (GRADY) DAVIDSON ONE AND ONE by CECIL DAY LEWIS VISITING SUNDAY: CONVENT NOVITIATE by MADELINE DEFREES SEVERAL MEASURES FOR THE LITTLE LOST by NORMAN DUBIE NEAR MISS HAIKU by ANSELM HOLLO THE PLAYER PIANO by RANDALL JARRELL A BANJO SONG by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
