A BRIGHT DAY, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: My windows now are giant drops of dew Last Line: And sit beside me here, to wash his face. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Nature | ||||||||
My windows now are giant drops of dew, The common stones are dancing in my eyes; The light is winged, and panting, and the world Is fluttering with a little fall or rise. See, while they shoot the sun with singing Larks, How those broad meadows sparkle and rejoice! Where can the Cuckoo hide in all this light, And still remain unseen, and but a voice? Shall I be mean, when all this light is mine? Is anything unworthy of its place? Call for the rat, and let him share my joy, And sit beside me here, to wash his face. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
