DAINTY little maiden, whither would you wander? Whither from this pretty home, the home where mother dwells? 'Far and far away,' said the dainty little maiden, 'All among the gardens, auriculas, anemones, Roses and lilies and Canterbury bells.' Dainty little maiden, whither would you wander? Whiter from this pretty house, this city-house of ours? 'Far and far away,' said the dainty little maiden, 'All among the meadows, the clover and the clematis, Daisies and kingcups and honeysuckle-flowers.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO GALLANT FRANCE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE UNDERGRADUATE KILLED IN BATTLE; OXFORD, 1915 by GEORGE SANTAYANA THE BIRDS by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT by ANNE BRADSTREET MY PICTURE LEFT IN SCOTLAND by BEN JONSON IRELAND by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR DOCTOR FELL by MARCUS VALERIUS MARTIALIS |
