FROM FRANCE, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: What little bird is this that sings? Last Line: Sing till our leaves in england dance. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Birds; France | ||||||||
What little bird is this that sings? I wonder if he comes from France: Lord, how he sings, and makes our leaves In happy England dance! What's in his song; is it sweet laughter, Or anger that he crossed the water? A song of roses, apples, corn, Seen here in England -- not his home; Or lilies, olives, and the grapes In France, across the foam? No matter, little friend from France -- Sing till our leaves in England dance. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHITE PEACOCK by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ALMANACH DU PRINTEMPS VIVAROIS by HAYDEN CARRUTH LETTER TO YOUKI by ROBERT DESNOS ELEGIES FOR THE OCHER DEER ON THE WALLS AT LASCAUX by NORMAN DUBIE LE PERE-LACHAISE by CAROL ANN DUFFY ON TALK OF PEACE AT THIS TIME by ROBERT FROST TO GALLANT FRANCE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
