NATURE'S FRIEND, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Say what you like Last Line: Bird, moth and bee. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Animals; Nature | ||||||||
Say what you like, All things love me! I pick no flowers -- That wins the Bee. The Summer's Moths Think my hand one -- To touch their wings -- With Wind and Sun. The garden Mouse Comes near to play; Indeed, he turns His eyes away. The Wren knows well I rob no nest; When I look in, She still will rest. The hedge stops Cows, Or they would come After my voice Right to my home. The Horse can tell, Straight from my lip, My hand could not Hold any whip. Say what you like, All things love me! Horse, Cow, and Mouse, Bird, Moth and Bee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
