THE WORLD APPROVES, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: The shade and colour of her eyes can wait
Last Line: And the world approves of dinah and my choice.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Beauty


The shade and colour of her eyes can wait,
It is the light of love that matters there;
But the spider's threads that catch the morning's pearls,
All for the Sun, could make no finer hair.

Our milk-fed kitten has no warmer skin,
My neighbour's pigeon has no softer voice;
Our black-mouthed puppy has no whiter teeth --
And the world approves of Dinah and my choice.
