HILL AND VALE, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Day by day the man in the vale Last Line: And one to see his vale below. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Country Life | ||||||||
Day by day the man in the vale Enjoyed his neighbour's hill above; Day by day the man on the hill Looked down his neighbour's vale with love. If either one would see how fair Was his own home, at any hour, He, walking up the hill or down, Enjoyed it from his neighbour's door. So, down the vale and up the hill, These neighbours travelled, to and fro; One man to see his own green hill, And one to see his vale below. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TARIFF by GEORGE HENRY BOKER A DRIVE IN THE COUNTRY by TED KOOSER THERE IS ALWAYS A LITTLE WIND by TED KOOSER COUNTRYSIDE by JOSEPHINE MILES A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
