WITH THY STRONG TIDE OF BEAUTY, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: With thy strong tide of beauty I must go Last Line: Surprise a bee before his blossom's found. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Innocence | ||||||||
With thy strong tide of beauty I must go, Where my love leads I follow in her tow; And all my hope is that I sing for her Fresh songs whose breath is April's all the year. There, with the flowers and butterflies, and bees That grumble more the more their blossoms please -- We'll live secure from this vain world's pretence, Till we acquire a second innocence. We'll shun all human scandal, though our words May oft discuss the private life of birds; And prying into every move and sound, Surprise a bee before his blossom's found. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HORATIAN VIRTUE by ANTHONY HECHT MONOLOGUE BEFORE AN INNOCENT BEING PRISONED IN A TREE by MARY KINZIE THE EROTIC PHILOSOPHERS by KIZER.
