CORNISH WIND, by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: There is a wind in cornwall that I know Last Line: A wind in england like my cornish wind. Subject(s): Cornwall, England; Wind | ||||||||
THERE is a wind in Cornwall that I know From any other wind, because it smells Of the warm honey breath of heather-bells And of the sea's salt; and these meet and flow With such sweet savour in such sharpness met That the astonished sense in ecstasy Tastes the ripe earth and the unvintaged sea. Wind out of Cornwall, wind, if I forget: Not in the tunnelled streets where scarce men breathe The air they live by, but whatever seas Blossom in foam, wherever merchant bees Volubly traffic upon any heath: If I forget, shame me! or if I find A wind in England like my Cornish wind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE WIND by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN LEAF LITTER ON ROCK FACE by HEATHER MCHUGH RESIDENTIAL AREA by JOSEPHINE MILES THE DAY THE WINDS by JOSEPHINE MILES VARIATIONS: 12 by CONRAD AIKEN OH IT'S PRETTY WINDY OUTSIDE by LARRY EIGNER NERVES by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS |
