Classic and Contemporary Poetry

TO A SPANIEL by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: NO, DAISY! LIFT NOT UP THY EAR
Last Line: THESE MANY DAYS, AND START AND WEEP.
Subject(s): ANIMALS; DOGS;
No, Daisy! lift not up thy ear,
It is not she whose steps draw near.
Tuck under thee that leg, for she
Continues yet beyond the sea,
And thou may'st whimper in thy sleep
These many days, and start and weep.
