THE WINGS OF EROS by WILLIAM WATSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE, LIKE A BIRD, HATH PERCH'D UPON A SPRAY
Last Line: BUT HUSH! . . . REMIND NOT EROS OF HIS WINGS.
Subject(s): CUPID; EROS;
LOVE, like a bird, hath perch'd upon a spray
For thee and me to harken what he sings.
Contented, he forgets to fly away;
But hush! . . . remind not Eros of his wings.
