THE MARSH WREN, by RALPH METHVEN THOMSON First Line: To think that such a tiny thing Last Line: Unbounded faith in god! Subject(s): Birds; Wrens | ||||||||
To think that such a tiny thing, So small a personage, Should have the hardihood to sing Where boorish billows rage! To think that you, undaunted by The wailing winds a-flee, Should dare to challenge every sigh Of aeon-moaning sea! That you should deign to build your nest Above a salt marsh sod! Undying love must fill your breast, Unbounded faith in God! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ENVIOUS WREN by PHOEBE CARY THE THREE WRENS by PHOEBE CARY JENNY WREN by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES VISIT OF THE WRENS by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE THE SLEEP OF WOOD IN THE HOUSE OF WRENS by GEORGE LOONEY ONCE I COULD SAY by IRA SADOFF FOR A WINTER WREN by DAVID WAGONER CHILD'S TALK IN APRIL by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI CHAMBER MUSIC: 14 by JAMES JOYCE |
