HIS THRONE, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: When love has lost his bite and sting Last Line: Embalmed in memories. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
When Love has lost his bite and sting, And all his fire has gone What other god shall take his place, And fill his golden throne? Where Love has sat, there let him lie, Whether he lives or dies; Still on that throne, where none succeeds, Embalmed in memories. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
