FELICITY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Felicity, come stay awhile, / and talk with me, you pretty maid'
Last Line: And she was tapping on the door.


'FELICITY, come stay awhile,
And talk with me, you pretty maid.'
She glanced at me, a girl of guile,
And she went running down the glade.

I stirred the embers on the stone,
I sprinkled rushes on the floor,
I took my pen to write alone, --
And she was tapping on the door.
