THIS GREEN ORCHARD, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: The healthiest place for love is here Last Line: Be poorer in our bliss? Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Passion | |||
The healthiest place for Love is here, And not in any room; Out in this old, green orchard, with The apple trees in bloom. For here we see no idle hooks, No empty shelf or box, To set Love's thoughts on sable scarves, Or stoles of silver fox. The first sweet lovers known to life, Had nothing more than this: Shall we, far richer, when compared, Be poorer in our bliss? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...APPULDURCOMBE PARK by AMY LOWELL FIVE ACCOUNTS OF A MONOGAMOUS MAN by WILLIAM MEREDITH ON PASSION AS A LITERARY TRADITION by JOHN CIARDI LES GRANDES PASSIONS MANQUEES by IRVING FELDMAN A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
