THE RAINBOW, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Rainbows are lovely things Last Line: Would come again, and again! Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Rainbows | ||||||||
Rainbows are lovely things: The bird, that shakes a cold, wet wing, Chatters with ecstasy, But has no breath to sing: No wonder, when the air Has a double-rainbow there! Look, there's a rainbow now! See how that lovely rainbow throws Her jewelled arm around This world, when the rain goes! And how I wish the rain Would come again, and again! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TIE-DOWN OF A BONSAI by MARVIN BELL THE RAINBOW [IN THE SKY] by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH ON A RAINBOW AT NIGHT by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD TO THE RAINBOW by THOMAS CAMPBELL GREEK SPRING; MARCH, ATHENS, 1913 by RHYS CARPENTER THE GREAT ADVENTURE by PATRICK REGINALD CHALMERS THE RAINBOW (1) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE A RAINBOW by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
