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 THE TWO SAYINGS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING MY AIN COUNTRIE by MARY LEE DEMAREST ON GROWING OLD by JOHN MASEFIELD THE MEN BEHIND THE GUNS by JOHN JEROME ROONEY A COWBOY TOAST by JAMES BARTON ADAMS WELCOME GUEST by JEAN D.
