TWO WOMEN: THE WIFE, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: I wish that she had drowned him quite Last Line: That he was made for living in. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. | ||||||||
I WISH that she had drowned him quite, Or beat your precious babe to death; Since he has grown so fierce and strong He'll beat me out of my last breath. Your precious babe is now a man, But, mother, he's not worth the skin -- As husband, father, or a son -- That he was made for living in. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHILD'S PET by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A MOTHER TO HER SICK CHILD by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A STRANGE MEETING by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A THOUGHT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES ADVICE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES APRIL'S LAMBS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES BIRD AND BROOK by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES COWSLIPS AND LARKS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES DAYS TOO SHORT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES EARLY MORN by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
