HIS THRONE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN LOVE HAS LOST HIS BITE AND STING
Last Line: EMBALMED IN MEMORIES.
Subject(s): LOVE;
When Love has lost his bite and sting,
And all his fire has gone —
What other god shall take his place,
And fill his golden throne?

Where Love has sat, there let him lie,
Whether he lives or dies;
Still on that throne, where none succeeds,
Embalmed in memories.
