BEGGAR'S SONG, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Now all the roads to london town Last Line: Snow's fall'n deep. Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter | ||||||||
Now all the roads to London Town Are windy-white with snow; There's shouting and cursing, And snortings to and fro; But when night hangs her hundred lamps, And the snickering frost-fires creep, Then still, O; dale and hill, O; Snow's fall'n deep. Then still, O; dale and hill, O; Snow's fall'n deep. The carter cracks his leathery whip; The ostler shouts Gee-whoa; The farm dog grunts and sniffs and snuffs; Bleat sheep; and cattle blow; Soon Moll and Nan in dream are laid, And snoring Dick's asleep; Then still, O; dale and hill, O; Snow's fall'n deep. Then still, O; dale and hill, O; Snow's fall'n deep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ARABIA by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BUNCHES OF GRAPES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ECHO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ENGLAND (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FARE WELL by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FIVE EYES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
