Z IS FOR ZANY, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Why does a woman change her moods? Last Line: This woman's love is now my rod! Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Women | ||||||||
Why does a woman change her moods? That man may have no thought but hers; When man has silent, unknown dreams, Oh, how it troubles her with fears: Her words, what jealous fear they prove -- 'A penny for your thoughts, my love.' When I would think, she laughs and talks, That I shall know a woman's there; She stops my hand, when it would write: I took her for my staff, but swear -- By every devil and every god -- This woman's love is now my rod! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER A WOMAN'S DELUSION by SUSAN HOWE JULIA TUTWILER STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN by ANDREW HUDGINS THE WOMEN ON CYTHAERON by ROBINSON JEFFERS TOMORROW by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LADIES FOR DINNER, SAIPAN by KENNETH KOCH GOODBYE TO TOLERANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
