THE WONDER-MAKER, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Come, if thou'rt cold to summer's charms Last Line: With all that's rich and beautiful. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Summer | ||||||||
COME, if thou'rt cold to Summer's charms, Her clouds of green, her starry flowers, And let this bird, this wandering bird, Make his fine wonder yours; He, hiding in the leaves so green, When sampling this fair world of ours, Cries Cuckoo, clear; and like Lot's wife, I look, though it should cost my life. When I can hear that charmed one's voice, I taste of immortality; My joy's so great that on my heart Doth lie eternity, As light as any little flower -- So strong a wonder works in me; Cuckoo! he cries, and fills my soul With all that's rich and beautiful. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ADVANCE OF SUMMER by MARY KINZIE THE SUMMER IMAGE by LEONIE ADAMS CANOEBIAL BLISS by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY THE END OF SUMMER by HENRY MEADE BLAND THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD SONNET: 14.
