THERE was a man of double deed Sowed his garden full of seed. When the seed began to grow, 'T was like a garden full of snow; When the snow began to melt, 'T was like a ship without a belt; When the ship began to sail, 'T was like a bird without a tail; When the bird began to fly, 'T was like an eagle in the sky; When the sky began to roar, 'T was like a lion at the door; When the door began to crack, 'T was like a stick across my back; When my back began to smart, 'T was like a penknife in my heart; When my heart began to bleed, 'T was death and death and death indeed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SITTING BULL IN SERBIA by WILLIAM JAY SMITH TO THE EXCELLENT ORINDA by PHILO PHILIPPA EPIGRAM OCCASIONED BY CIBBER'S VERSES IN PRAISE OF NASH: 1 by ALEXANDER POPE THE GIFT OF THE GODS by JOHN GODFREY SAXE TO CHRISTOPHER NORTH by ALFRED TENNYSON BEAU NASH by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER BEAU NASH AND THE ROMAN, OR THE TWO ERAS by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
