THE CHASE, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: The moon his mare, all silver-bright Last Line: What ghostly horse shall course the sky? Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Courtship; Desire | ||||||||
The Moon his mare, all silver-bright, And he all gold, to match her When will that stallion, called the Sun, Come near enough to catch her? With time to spare, and love to waste, What years and years of fire and haste! When his bright eye grows cold and dim, His nostrils blow less fire Will he, the shadow of himself, Pursue her with the old desire? When Earth has not one living eye What ghostly horse shall course the sky? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AMERICAN WEDDING by ESSEX HEMPHILL HISTORY OF DESIRE by TONY HOAGLAND ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
