SPORT, by H. C. SOUTHWICK First Line: Pretty maiden passing by Last Line: Who may come a-passing by. Subject(s): Courtship | ||||||||
PRETTY maiden passing by, Modest look and downcast eye; Don't you hear me gently sigh, Pretty maiden passing by? Pretty maiden passing by, Look so timid and so shy; Will you love me till I die, Pretty maiden passing by? But, alas! she'll not reply, And not even tell me why; So another maid I'll try, Who may come a-passing by. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AS YOU WALK OUT ONE MORNING by GLYN MAXWELL TALE OF THE MAYOR'S SON by GLYN MAXWELL THE RIVALS by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON MARJORIE'S WOOING by EMMA LAZARUS THE FORTUNATE SPILL by MARILYN NELSON REQUEST TO LEDA by DYLAN THOMAS |
