ECHO, by ARTHUR GUITERMAN Poet's Biography First Line: Of sweet companions, mine, for choice Last Line: She only speaks when spoken to. Subject(s): Echo (mythology) | |||
Of sweet companions, mine, for choice, Is Echo of the dulcet voice Who carols rounds and glees with me And thoroughly agrees with me. And though she takes the final word, As ladies will, I've never heard Her claim undue priority Or prate without authority. Among the hills the pleasant minx Observes a custom which, methinks, All flappers should be broken to -- She only speaks when spoken to. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ECHO AND THE FERRY by JEAN INGELOW A GENTLE ECHO ON WOMAN (IN THE DORIC MANNER) by JONATHAN SWIFT ECHO SONG by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH ECHO by AULUS LICINIUS ARCHIAS ABER STATIONS: STATIO QUINTA by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN PICTURES OF TRAVEL: THE BALTIC, PART 2: 9.
