THE LADY OF LIGHT, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Though I must sleep, and give my body rest Last Line: The last at night to see her lover home. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Hearts; Love Affairs | ||||||||
Though I must sleep, and give my body rest, Still must I love this Moon with all my heart; Like silly lovers, walking to and fro, We see each other home, and cannot part. And when at last the final moment comes, When I have said 'Good Night,' from under cover I still have hopes to see her pass my window, As she goes home alone, without her lover. Night after night we play this lover's game, We come and go, from place to place we roam: Yet no fair Lady, half so sweet, should be The last at night to see her lover home. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOUBLE SPHERE, CLOVEN SPHERE by NORMAN DUBIE A MONTH IN SUMMER by CAROLYN KIZER OAXACA 1925 by KENNETH REXROTH SOTTOPORTICO SAN ZACCARIA by KENNETH REXROTH APOLLO AT LAX by KAREN SWENSON IT'S ME, I'M NOT HOME by REETIKA VAZIRANI A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
