LAMORNA COVE, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: I see at last our great lamorna cove Last Line: Screams in its fresh young wonder and delight. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Cornwall, England; Coves | ||||||||
I SEE at last our great Lamorna Cove, Which, danced on by ten thousand silver feet, Has all those waves that run like little lambs, To draw the milk from many a rocky teat, Spilt in white gallons all along the shore. Who ever saw more beauty under the sun? I look and look, and say, "No wonder here's A light I never saw on earth before -- Two heavens are shining here instead of one." And, like the wild gulls flashing in my sight, Each furious thought that's driving through my brain Screams in its fresh young wonder and delight. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MINUTE GUNS by CELIA LEIGHTON THAXTER A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A CHILD'S PET by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A MOTHER TO HER SICK CHILD by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A STRANGE MEETING by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A THOUGHT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES ADVICE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES APRIL'S LAMBS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES BIRD AND BROOK by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
