WILD BLOSSOMS, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: No lilies all for milk Last Line: With a sign of the cross. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Flowers | ||||||||
No lilies all for milk, Nor roses rich in blood, Can settle my best thoughts To browse in solitude. But where the daisy grows, Primrose and violet, In their first happy state, No mortal hand has set: Where these wild blossoms grow All in the grass and moss I'll raise my hand, O Lord, With a sign of the Cross. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEY SAW THE PROBLEM by MARK JARMAN SHAKE THE SUPERFLUX! by DAVID LEHMAN THE M??TIER OF BLOSSOMING by DENISE LEVERTOV TANKA DIARY (6) by HARRYETTE MULLEN VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
