Why does a mallard winging lonely Down the lake Cause the heart to thrill, as only Wild things can, and make The breath catch in the throat and vague tears dim The eyes? What is it that all wild things do To human hearts That makes them leap and long to follow In the wake Of one wild mallard winging lonely Down the lake? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DUCK-CHASING by GALWAY KINNELL PORTRAIT OF THE GREAT WHITE HUNTER FOXHUNTING IN THE ABSENCE OF BIG... by CLARENCE MAJOR ESSAY: DUCKS by ELENI SIKELIANOS THE WILD DUCK'S NEST by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THE MALLARDS PASS UNHARMED by LAURA FRANCES ALEXANDER |
