U IS FOR UNION, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: If time and nature serve us both alike Last Line: As plump as snow on window-sill and frame? Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Variant Title(s): Re-union | ||||||||
If Time and Nature serve us both alike, I shall be dead for years, when you are dying; Remember then how much I loved the birds: That should you hear a gentle bird-voice crying 'Sweet! Sweet!' You'll know at once whose lover waits. I shall be there in all good time to show The way that leads to a new life and home -- Ere Death can freeze one finger-tip or toe. But we'll have years together yet, I trust, In this green world: how many sparrows came To breakfast here this morning, with the frost As plump as snow on window-sill and frame? | 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 |
