FACADE: 17. DARK SONG, by EDITH SITWELL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The fire was furry as a bear Last Line: Grumbled too! Subject(s): Animals | ||||||||
The fire was furry as a bear And the flames purr . . . The brown bear rambles in his chain Captive to cruel men Through the dark and hairy wood. The maid sighed, 'All my blood Is animal. They thought I sat Like a household cat; But through the dark woods rambled I . . . Oh, if my blood would die!' The fire had a bear's fur; It heard and knew . . . The dark earth furry as a bear, Grumbled too! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROMANTIC MOMENTS by TONY HOAGLAND INSECT LIFE OF FLORIDA by LYNDA HULL THE ANIMALS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE PRESENCES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES BESTIARY by EARL (EARLE) BIRNEY THE FARMER'S BOY: WINTER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD AN OLD WOMAN: 2.
