SCANDAL, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: This is god's poorest lambing-time Last Line: Has said 'good-bye', and gone. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Sin | ||||||||
This is God's poorest lambing-time, Our life is one of evil; Who'll bring me news that's kind and sweet, Where Mercy shames the devil? We leap like fleas before we look, On any sin or lie; Unless I hear more kindness soon, I'll laugh until I die. I'll put this injured Bee to rest, Safe on a mossy stone Till Scandal, blackening all that's white, Has said 'Good-bye', and gone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SEVEN STREAMS OF NEVIS by GALWAY KINNELL CHANEL NO. 5 by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR BROTHERS: 4.
