THE VISITOR (2), by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Her beauty is a wasted thing Last Line: Come back and sing again? Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Selfishness | ||||||||
Her beauty is a wasted thing, She's neither sweet nor kind; And flowers that have no other eyes Than raindrops soon go blind. She is a park that has no deer To give it life or grace; Until I think the wilderness A more enchanted place. Her Ten Commandments are her own, She knows no other Creed; The only babies in her eyes Are selfish thoughts and greed. Her beauty is a wasted thing, Is Nature's loss and pain; When will the little, plain, brown bird Come back and sing again? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LEGEND OF THE NORTHLAND by PHOEBE CARY SATIRES OF CIRCUMSTANCE: 3.
