THE MAY-TREE, by ALFRED NOYES Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The may-tree on the hill Last Line: Endymion knows. Subject(s): Diana (goddess); Endymion | |||
THE May-tree on the hill Stands in the night So fragrant and so still So dusky white, That, stealing from the wood In that sweet air, You'd think Diana stood Before you there. If it be so, her bloom Trembles with bliss. She waits across the gloom Her shepherd's kiss. Touch her. A bird will start From those pure snows, -- The dark and fluttering heart Endymion knows. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SELENE by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH ENDYMION by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE AWAKENING OF ENDYMION by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON SONNET: 121.
