YOU QUITE MISTAKE, by JOSEPH SKIPSEY Poet's Biography First Line: You quite mistake the sprite you chase Last Line: To my dear kitchen cats and wenches. Subject(s): Fairies; Fantasy; Elves | ||||||||
You quite mistake the sprite you chase. I'm of the under, not the upper, Order of the fairy race, And cannot go with you to supper. "You silly elf, Titania's self Will" Tut, be there? My mirth she quenches, And her stiff airs kick me down-stairs To my dear kitchen cats and wenches. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FAERY FOREST by SARA TEASDALE THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE FAIRIES by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM THE FAIRY CHILD by JOHN ANSTER THE FORSAKEN MERMAN by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE LITTLE ELF-MAN by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS TAM O' SHANTER by ROBERT BURNS A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 19.
