TELL ME, WORLD, AND TELL ME, NATURE, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: No spoilt, no pampered child am I Last Line: Am I a spoilt and pampered creature? Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Nature | |||
No spoilt, no pampered child am I, Neither by Nature nor the World; Enough to keep my Body in breath Is all I get in silver and gold. How many pools have been my haunts, Which but a Moorhen stirred, To see my great Kingfisher twice — That wild and lovely, life-sought Bird! And many a Rainbow too has come All silently in Heaven, and gone, Between last Blackberry-time and this — While I saw only one! Then tell me, World, and tell me, Nature — Am I a spoilt and pampered creature? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
