IMPUDENCE, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: One morning, when the world was grey and cold Last Line: "such impudence before in this old world!" Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. | ||||||||
ONE morning, when the world was grey and cold, And every face looked dull and full of care, There passed me, puffing clouds of silver breath, A lovely maiden, with a jaunty air. The red carnations flamed in both her cheeks, Her teeth all there and shown; while either eye Shone like a little pool on Christchurch Hill When it has stolen more than half the sky. And when I saw such beauty, young and fresh, So proud, although the day was grey and cold, "Who ever saw," I laughed, and stared amazed, "Such impudence before in this old world!" | 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 |
