MY ROCKERY, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Here in my garden I have lovely stones Last Line: Might well forget, and stay to worship stones! Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Monuments; Stones; Granite; Rocks | ||||||||
Here in my garden I have lovely stones, All old and grey and some with knobs of pearl; Stones with their silver sides, and amber backs, With mossy dimples and with horns that curl. Would that this rockery were my grave indeed, The monument where lie my buried bones: Though people coming here to think of me Might well forget, and stay to worship stones! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STONE'S SECRET by MARGARET AVISON CONTRA MORTEM: THE STONE by HAYDEN CARRUTH NAMING FOR LOVE by HAYDEN CARRUTH OF THE STONES OF THE PLACE by ROBERT FROST THE EYE IN THE ROCK by JOHN HAINES THE HEAD ON THE TABLE by JOHN HAINES A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
