A GREETING, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Good morning, life -- and all Last Line: Things glad and beautiful. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. | ||||||||
GOOD morning, Life -- and all Things glad and beautiful. My pockets nothing hold, But he that owns the gold, The Sun, is my great friend -- His spending has no end. Hail to the morning sky, Which bright clouds measure high; Hail to you birds whose throats Would number leaves by notes; Hail to you shady bowers, And you green fields of flowers. Hail to you women fair, That make a show so rare In cloth as white as milk -- Be't calico or silk: Good morning, Life -- and all Things glad and beautiful. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHILD'S PET by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A MOTHER TO HER SICK CHILD by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A STRANGE MEETING by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A THOUGHT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES ADVICE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES APRIL'S LAMBS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES BIRD AND BROOK by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES COWSLIPS AND LARKS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES DAYS TOO SHORT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES EARLY MORN by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
