JOVE WARNS US, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Jove warns us with his lightning first Last Line: To fasten me beside her. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. | ||||||||
JOVE warns us with his lightning first, Before he sends his thunder; Before the cock begins to crow, He claps his wings down under. But I, who go to see a maid, This springtime in the morning, Fall under every spell she has, Without a word of warning. She little thinks what charms her breath To cunning eyes reveal; The waves that down her body glide, That from her bosom steal. Her moth-like plumpness caught my eye, I watched it like a spider; By her own hair my web is made, To fasten me beside her. | 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 |
