THE SHADOW, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: She flies from my shadow Last Line: She still follows after! Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Courtship; Love | ||||||||
She flies from my shadow, To her lover, the Sun; Yet for her rare beauty, I still follow on. Her wings tipped with silver, Jet-black, and of gold, She flies to her lover, From a shadow that's cold. Stay, Butterfly, stay, My Love's full of laughter: Why fly from a shadow? She still follows after! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
