SONNET TO TARTAR, A TERRIER BEAUTY, by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Snowdrop of dogs, with ear of brownest dye Last Line: Solicitudes canine, four-footed amities. Subject(s): Animals; Dogs | |||
Snowdrop of dogs, with ear of brownest dye, Like the last orphan leaf of naked tree Which shudders in bleak autumn; though by thee, Of hearing careless and untutored eye, Not understood articulate speech of men, Nor marked the artificial mind of books, -- The mortal's voice eternized by the pen, -- Yet hast thou thought and language all unknown To Babel's scholars; oft intensest looks, Long scrutiny o'er some dark-veined stone Dost thou bestow, learning dead mysteries Of the world's birth-day, oft in eager tone With quick-tailed fellows bandiest prompt replies, Solicitudes canine, four-footed amities. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SENTIMENTAL DANGERS by ANDREW HUDGINS SHOOTING THE DOG by JUNE JORDAN AFTER AN ILLNESS, WALKING THE DOG by JANE KENYON DANCING WITH THE DOG by SUSAN KENNEDY BALLAD OF HUMAN LIFE by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES DEATH'S JEST-BOOK: DIRGE FOR WOLFRAM by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES DEATH'S JEST-BOOK: SAILORS' [OR MARINERS'] SONG by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES |
