GIPSY LOVE, by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The gipsy tents are on the down Last Line: With a gipsy for my dear! Subject(s): Gypsies; Gipsies | ||||||||
The gipsy tents are on the down, The gipsy girls are here; And it's O to be off and away from the town With a gipsy for my dear! We'd make our bed in the bracken With the lark for a chambermaid; The lark would sing us awake in the morning, Singing above our head. We'd drink the sunlight all day long With never a house to bind us; And we'd only flout in a merry song The world we left behind us. We would be free as birds are free The livelong day, the livelong day; And we would lie in the sunny bracken With none to say us nay. The gipsy tents are on the down, The gipsy girls are here; And it's O to be off and away from the town With a gipsy for my dear! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ASSIMILATION OF THE GYPSIES by LARRY LEVIS THE SCHOLAR GIPSY by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE GYPSY by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS TO A GIPSY CHILD BY THE SEA-SHORE by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE GYPSIES [OR, GIPSIES] by HENRY HOWARTH BASHFORD NERVES by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS |
