If I should ever by chance grow rich I'll buy Codham, Cockridden, and Childerditch, Roses, Pyrgo, and Lapwater, And let them all to my elder daughter. The rent I shall ask of her will be only Each year's first violets, white and lonely, The first primroses and orchises -- She must find them before I do, that is. But if she finds a blossom on furze Without rent they shall all for ever be hers, Codham, Cockridden, and Childerditch, Roses, Pyrgo and Lapwater, -- I shall give them all to my elder daughter. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A COMPARISON by WILLIAM COWPER EPITAPH: FOR A LADY I KNOW by COUNTEE CULLEN FLORAL DECORATIONS FOR BANANAS by WALLACE STEVENS PETER QUINCE AT THE CLAVIER by WALLACE STEVENS TRACT by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE PITY OF LOVE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS IDYLL 6.
