EYES AND EARS, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Would that the powers that made my eyes so keen Last Line: Before I knew their names by leaf or bark. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Twins | ||||||||
Would that the Powers that made my eyes so keen, To stare at things intently, near or far; That I discover twins at last, in what I thought at first was but a single star Would that those Powers had made my ears the same, To tell the Oak and Maple in the dark, To recognize their songs in wind or rain, Before I knew their names by leaf or bark. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TWINS by HENRY SAMBROOKE LEIGH A PROBLEM by GEORGE PARMLY DAY SONG OF A WOMAN WITH TWINS by MYRTLE EBERSTEIN YLETTE AND YVONNE by WILSON PUGSLEY MACDONALD A TALE OF ELSINORE by WILLIAM MCGONAGALL THE TWINS by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
