MY LOVE COULD WALK, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: My love could walk in richer hues Last Line: A queen that's more than half a nun. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Desire; Love | |||
MY Love could walk in richer hues Than any bird of paradise, And no one envy her her dress: Since in her looks the world would see A robin's love and friendliness. And she could be the lily fair, More richly dressed than all her kind, And no one envy her her gain: Since in her looks the world would see A daisy that was sweet and plain. Oh, she could sit like any queen That's nailed by diamonds to a throne, Her splendour envied by not one: Since in her looks the world would see A queen that's more than half a nun. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
