FROST, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: What swords and spears, what daggers bright Last Line: Where is your plump young sister, snow?' Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Frost | ||||||||
What swords and spears, what daggers bright He arms the morning with! How light His powder is, that's fit to lie On the wings of a butterfly! What milk-white clothing he has made For every little twig and blade! What curious, silver work is shown On wood and iron, glass and stone!
