THE HOUR OF MAGIC, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: This is the hour of magic, when the moon Last Line: To prove they still have life with earthly ties? Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. | ||||||||
THIS is the hour of magic, when the Moon With her bright wand has charmed the tallest tree To stand stone still with all his million leaves! I feel around me things I cannot see; I hold my breath, as nature holds her own. And do the mice and birds, the horse and cow, Sleepless in this deep silence, so intense, Believe a miracle has happened now, And wait to hear a sound they'll recognize, To prove they still have life with earthly ties? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHILD'S PET by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A MOTHER TO HER SICK CHILD by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A STRANGE MEETING by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A THOUGHT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES ADVICE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES APRIL'S LAMBS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES BIRD AND BROOK by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES COWSLIPS AND LARKS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES DAYS TOO SHORT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES EARLY MORN by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
