COME, LET US FIND, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Come, let us find a cottage, love Last Line: To clear away the morning dew. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Love | |||
COME, let us find a cottage, love, That's green for half a mile around; To laugh at every grumbling bee, Whose sweetest blossom's not yet found. Where many a bird shall sing for you, And in our garden build its nest: They'll sing for you as though their eggs Were lying in your breast, My love -- Were lying warm in your soft breast. 'Tis strange how men find time to hate, When life is all too short for love; But we, away from our own kind, A different life can live and prove. And early on a summer's morn, As I go walking out with you, We'll help the sun with our warm breath To clear away the dew, My love, To clear away the morning dew. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
