The Peacock, that fine-feathered bird, Has but a screeching voice; The Robin, with a lovely breast, Sings once, and quarrels twice. I married you for youth and beauty, The first to please my mind; And found Love's strength was in her voice To keep it sweet and kind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
