AT NIGHT, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: One night I heard a small, weak voice Last Line: Her sparrow with his common flower. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Birth; Child Birth; Midwifery | |||
One night I heard a small, weak voice, Born into a silent, sleeping world: Was it a new-born baby, or A new-born lamb, a minute old? But when I saw the sky was one Big loaded orchard of bright lights, I almost cried like that young child, For Earth, and all her little mites. The silence of those mighty heavens, That infant's cry, so weak in power, Made me half wish that Day had brought Her sparrow with his common flower. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHY I AM AFRAID OF TURNING THE PAGE by CATE MARVIN ACCIDENTS OF BIRTH by WILLIAM MEREDITH ONE FOR ALL NEWBORNS by THYLIAS MOSS CURRICULUM VITAE by LISEL MUELLER FOUND IN THE CABBAGE PATCH by LISEL MUELLER A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
