MAY MARGERY of Lynton Is brighter than the day; Her eye is like the sun in heaven -- Was ne'er so sweet a May! May Margery has learnt a tune To which her soul is set -- The voices of all happy things Are in its cadence met -- The voices of all happy things In air, and earth, and sea, Make music in the little breast Of sweet May Margery. And has May Margery a heart? Nay, child, God give thee grace! He made it for thee years ago, And keeps it in a place -- The heart of gold that shall be thine -- But who shall have the key That opens it -- Ah, who? ah, who? Ah, who, May Margery? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEXTER GORDON: COPENHAGEN/AVERY FISHER HALL by KAREN SWENSON A PHONECALL FROM FRANK O'HARA by ANNE WALDMAN THE WIDOW AT WINDSOR by RUDYARD KIPLING KIT CARSON'S RIDE by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER TO A SNOWFLAKE by FRANCIS THOMPSON TO A DEAD JOURNALIST by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT |
