PASSION'S GREED, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: His constant wonder keeps him back Last Line: And ask our fingers if we bleed. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. | |||
HIS constant wonder keeps him back From flying either far or straight; Confined by thy great beauty here, My life is like that butterfly's, With every source of wonder near. Let me go burning to my death: Nothing can come between our minds To ease me of this passion's greed: We'll bite each other's necks like dogs, And ask our fingers if we bleed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHILD'S PET by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A MOTHER TO HER SICK CHILD by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A STRANGE MEETING by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A THOUGHT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES ADVICE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES APRIL'S LAMBS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES BIRD AND BROOK by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES COWSLIPS AND LARKS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES DAYS TOO SHORT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES EARLY MORN by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
