EARTH LOVE, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: I love the earth through my two eyes Last Line: To sleep with his dead love. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. | ||||||||
I love the earth through my two eyes, Like any butterfly or bee; The hidden roots escape my thoughts, I love but what I see. A tree has lovely limbs, I know, Both large and strong, down under earth; But all my thoughts are in the boughs, That give the green leaves birth. My friend, his thought goes deeper down, Beneath the roots, while mine's above: He's thinking of a quiet place To sleep with his dead Love. | 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 |
