ALPHEUS AND ARETHUSA, by EUGENE HOWELL DALY First Line: A nymph there was in arcadie Last Line: They turned them into water! Subject(s): Alpheus; Arethusa | |||
(NEW DORIC) A NYMPH there was in Arcadie Who owned a crystal spring; And there she'd wash, sans mackintosh, B'gosh, or anything. A youth there was in Arcadie Who hunted o'er the brooks; He would not tote an overcoat, But travelled on his looks. Though ancient Greece had no police, The gods did as they'd oughter; To put them quite from mortal sight They turned them into water! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARETHUSA by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS ARETHUSA by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY THE GOLDEN CORPSE by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THE SONG OF HIAWATHA: PICTURE-WRITING by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE FAIR SINGER by ANDREW MARVELL EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 30.
