THE CONQUERORS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHO ARE THESE MEN WITH QUIET SMILES
Last Line: MUST FEAR HIS EVERY MOVE.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Who are these men with quiet smiles —
How came these two together?
I'd walk ten miles to meet with one
Or ten to miss the other.

The one man smiles because the World
Is conquered by his love;
The other smiles because the World
Must fear his every move.
