CORSICAN DROVER, by ANONYMOUS First Line: How chang'd the scene of late has been Last Line: And drove them back from paris Subject(s): France;immigrants;london; Emigrant;emigration;immigration | |||
How chang'd the scene of late has been, From France they're bundling over, And everyone for fear must run, Like sheep before a drover, The motley crew exclaim'd Mon Dieu, At Calais when assembled, At Boney's name each nervous dame Stood on the shore and trembled. Chorus London now is come to town Few are found who tarries Boney there has made them stare And drove them back from Paris. * * * | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EVERYDAY WE GET MORE ILLEGAL by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA EUROPE AND AMERICA by DAVID IGNATOW EUROPE AND AMERICA by DAVID IGNATOW THE VIEW AT GUNDERSON'S by JOSEPH WARREN BEACH MEETING YOU AT THE PIERS by KENNETH KOCH |
