SONG, by JOSEPH ADDISON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Echo, tell me, while I wander Last Line: Echo: wed him, wed him! Subject(s): May (month) | |||
ECHO, tell me, while I wander O'er this fairy plain to prove him, If my shepherd still grows fonder, Ought I in return to love him? Echo: Love him, love him! If he loves, as is the fashion, Should I churlishly forsake him? Or in pity to his passion, Fondly to my bosom take him? Echo: Take him, take him! Thy advice then, I'll adhere to, Since in Cupid's chains I've led him; And with Henry shall not fear to Marry, if you answer, "Wed him!" Echo: Wed him, wed him! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN THE MONTH OF MAY by ROBERT BLY VENICE: MAY DAY by KENNETH REXROTH EARLY MAY STANZAS by TOMAS TRANSTROMER HOME-THOUGHTS, FROM ABROAD by ROBERT BROWNING IN MAY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR |
