COUNCIL, by ELIZABETH BROWN (AMERICAN) First Line: Do not go to the hunted hill Last Line: Blind your daring eyes. | |||
Do not go to the hunted hill Where the wild grape entwines. You will be stabbed by poisoned thorns And throttled by dark vines. Do not wade in the willow stream Where no cool waters flow, For those dry beds are fathomless A thousand depths below. Do not walk in the witches' wood, Lest tiger leaves arise, Or tangled web of spider should Blind your daring eyes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...KATHMANDU GUEST HOUSE by KAREN SWENSON ONLY A WOMAN by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK ON LIBERTY AND SLAVERY by GEORGE MOSES HORTON SUMMER'S LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT: SPRING by THOMAS NASHE A TRIP TO PARIS AND BELGIUM: 16.
