EARLY MORN, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When I did wake this morn from sleep Last Line: As they would vanish for a dream. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Morning | |||
WHEN I did wake this morn from sleep, It seemed I heard birds in a dream; Then I arose to take the air -- The lovely air that made birds scream; Just as a green hill launched the ship Of gold, to take its first clear dip. And it began its journey then, As I came forth to take the air; The timid Stars had vanished quite, The Moon was dying with a stare; Horses, and kine, and sheep were seen, As still as pictures, in fields green. It seemed as though I had surprised And trespassed in a golden world That should have passed while men still slept! The joyful birds, the ship of gold, The horses, kine, and sheep did seem As they would vanish for a dream. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MORNING SONG by KARLE WILSON BAKER THE WHARF ON THAMES-SIDE: WINTER DAWN by LAURENCE BINYON POEM BEFORE BREAKFAST by TED KOOSER I'VE BEEN ASLEEP by PHILIP LEVINE SPRNG DAY: BREAKFAST TABLE by AMY LOWELL THE WAYSIDE STATION by EDWIN MUIR A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
