Youngling fair, and dear delight, 'Tis Love hath thee in keeping; Green are the hills in morning light, A long adieu to weeping! The elfin-folk sing shrill a-ring; Children a-field are straying; Dance, too, thou tiny, lovely thing, For all the world's a-maying. Droop will the shadows of the night; Quiet be thy sleeping. Thou youngling fair, and dear delight, 'Tis Love hath thee in keeping. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ARABIA by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BUNCHES OF GRAPES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ECHO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ENGLAND (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FARE WELL by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FIVE EYES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
