THREE LOVES, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: My silver love is shared by all Last Line: On mat or grass, or stone. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Hearts; Love | ||||||||
My silver love is shared by all, With every flower and bird; With every man that greets me well, A friendly nod or word. My golden love is kept for two, That share my fire and mat; A little dog with simple ways, And my self-conscious cat. My diamond love, more precious far, Is shared by only one; And where She is that love prevails, On mat or grass, or stone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
