O DEAR ME! by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: HERE ARE CROCUSES, WHITE, GOLD, GREY!
Last Line: O DEAR ME!' SAYS EMMANUEL.

Here are crocuses, white, gold, grey!
'O dear me!' says Marjorie May;
Flat as a platter the blackberry blows:
'O dear me!' says Madeleine Rose;
The leaves are fallen, the swallows flown:
'O dear me!' says Humphrey John;
Snow lies thick where all night it fell:
'O dear me!' says Emmanuel.
