LEAVES (1), by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Peace to these little broken leaves Last Line: Tremble -- no bigger than a star! Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Leaves | ||||||||
Peace to these little broken leaves, That strew our common ground; That chase their tails, like silly dogs, As they go round and round. For though in winter boughs are bare, Let us not once forget Their summer glory, when these leaves Caught the great Sun in their strong net; And made him, in the lower air, Tremble -- no bigger than a star! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE SHAPE OF LEAVES by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS TWO PICTURES OF A LEAF by MARVIN BELL SO IT'S TODAY by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR CONTRA MORTEM: THE LEAVES by HAYDEN CARRUTH I COULD TAKE by HAYDEN CARRUTH A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
