THE BROWN BEAVER, by FLOSSIE DEANE CRAIG First Line: Oh, man, I think I know just why it is you sigh Last Line: That many a brave and daring man has died for less! Subject(s): Animals; Beavers; Fur Trade; Furs | |||
Oh, Man, I think I know just why it is you sigh -- It is to be as beautiful and soft and brown as I. Knowing that when I'm dead, my warm and cuddly skin Will be tucked tenderly beneath a dimpled chin, Will be so gently fingered and adored . . . Death will, to me, much happiness afford. There be far better things than a smooth, round bosom? Then you, my doubting friend, are free to choose'em; And I'll always have this soothing thought to bless, That many a brave and daring man has died for less! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FUR COAT by JAMES STEPHENS BREAK DOWN THESE BARRIERS by FLOSSIE DEANE CRAIG IMPASSE by FLOSSIE DEANE CRAIG CHAMBER MUSIC: 3 by JAMES JOYCE THE FIDDLING WOOD by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THE BELL by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES EHEU, FUGACES! by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS THE STORY OF ZERBIN AND ISABELLA, FR.
