Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Absence; Fidelity; Separation; Isolation; Faithfulness; Constancy
The bird that fills my ears with song,
The Sun that warms me with his fire;
The dog that licks my face and hands,
And She whose beauty I desire —
Each of these think that he or she
Creates in me the joy they see.
But when my dog's gone off with a bitch,
And there's no Sun, nor bird in song;
When Love's false eyes seek other men,
And leave me but her lying tongue;
Still will my Joy — though forced to roam —
Remember me and come back home.
