I GO HOME by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: MY MISTRESS DREAMS - AND ME FORGOT
Last Line: AND I GO HOME.

My mistress dreams -- and me forgot;
For parlour silks I cannot care;
Abroad she will not roam.
But birds invite to sandy grot;
Good warren folk await me there;
So @3I@1 go home.

Her human sprite's flown out of house;
Her shoe scarce prints the painted mat;
She dreams of fay and gnome,
And such as in full moon carouse:
So, soft, tap this foot, softlier that --
And @3I@1 go home.
