MRS. MACQUEEN, OR THE LOLLIE-SHOP, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: With glass like a bull's-eye Last Line: In the linden tree. Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter | ||||||||
With glass like a bull's-eye, And shutters of green, Down on the cobbles Lives Mrs. MacQueen. At six she rises; At nine you see Her candle shine out In the linden tree; And at half-past nine Not a sound is nigh, But the bright moon's creeping Across the sky; Or a far dog baying; Or a twittering bird In its drowsy nest, In the darkness stirred; Or like the roar Of a distant sea, A long-drawn S-s-sh! In the linden tree. | 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 |
