GIANTS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: I TAKE NO PRIDE IN BODY'S GROWTH
Last Line: DESERVES A GIANT'S NAME.
Subject(s): GIANTS; SIZE & SHAPE; HEIGHT;
I take no pride in body's growth
Nor in my strength of mind,
Nor should my life exceed in both.
For only he whose heart is kind
And gentle enough to laugh and play
At snowballs in a fairy's game --
Deserves a giant's name.
