LOVE AND MONEY, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: I count my pounds as three times two Last Line: Shall fly to safer cover! Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Love - Materialism | ||||||||
I count my pounds as three times two, And five times one, my shillings; Six pounds, five shillings for my Love, To buy a coat with frillings. But as she takes the light and air, So will she take my money; And all the thanks I'll get will be A quiet 'Kiss me, Honey'. And so I will, at such a rate That, long before it's over A deer pursued by fire and wind Shall fly to safer cover! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LADY CLARA VERE DE VERE by ALFRED TENNYSON FOR LACK OF GOLD by ADAM AUSTIN EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 28.
