A DREAM OF WINTER, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: These flowers survive their lover bees Last Line: The fire that's on his own warm breast. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Autumn; Robins; Seasons; Winter; Fall | |||
THESE flowers survive their lover bees, Whose deep bass voices filled the air; The cuckoo and the nightingale Have come and gone, we know not where. Now, in this green and silent world, In Autumn, full of smiling light, I hear a bird that, suddenly, Startles my hearing and my sight. It is the Robin, singing of A silver world of snow and frost; Where all is cold and white—except The fire that's on his own warm breast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
